How has scandal shaped royal history?

from History Behind the Headlines: Briefing · host History Extra

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been back in the headlines over the weekend, as a new batch of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, released by the US Department of Justice, included correspondence with a man believed to be the former duke. It's the latest stage in the scandal surrounding Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles last November. History shows that royal families have been no stranger to scandal, and in this episode of HistoryExtra's series History Behind the Headlines: Briefing, Hannah Skoda from the University of Oxford looks back at some of the most controversial examples. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST For further historical analysis of the latest breaking news, don't miss HistoryExtra's History Behind the Headlines podcast: https://play.megaphone.fm/vv4s-xn6tfmntfojkacmna And if you’ve enjoyed this episode, why not become a member of HistoryExtra for access to thousands of ad-free podcasts, hundreds of hours of video and a huge archive of articles from leading historians: https://www.historyextra.com/subscribe/ Learn more about your ad choices.
