Episode description

Amongst the three million files released by the US department of justice pertaining to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, two people in particular emerge badly: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson.


Camilla and Tim reflect on the calls for Lord Mandelson to be stripped of his peerage following the revelations, including that he leaked confidential government documents to the disgraced financier. They also question why Keir Starmer ever appointed him as US ambassador.


Later, royal biographer Andrew Lownie assesses the damage to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, after pictures emerged of the former Duke of York on all fours over an unidentified woman.
