Andrew and Epstein - The King acts
from The Royals
He will now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The man formerly known as Prince Andrew is being stripped of his titles and removed from his mansion, Royal Lodge, on the Windsor estate. Last month The Times obtained a copy of the leasehold agreement for Royal Lodge which showed that while the prince paid £1 million for the lease plus at least £7.5 million for refurbishments completed in 2005, he has paid “one peppercorn (if demanded)” in rent per year, since 2003. Andrew's links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein brought increasing public and political demands for action. It is a seismic moment in royal history – but is it enough? Roya is joined on the podcast by Aubrey Allegretti, the paper's chief political correspondent and George Greenwood, investigations reporter for The Times.Presenter: Roya NikkhahContributors: Aubrey Allegretti, Times chief political correspondent and George Greenwood, Investigations Reporter for The TimesProducers: Sophie McNulty, Priyanka Deladia, Robert Wallace, Stephen TitheringtonPhoto: Getty Images Hosted on Acast.
