Former Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office — a stunning development tied to newly surfaced Epstein-related revelations. Michael is joined by Patrick Jephson, Princess Diana’s former private secretary and chief of staff, for an insider’s perspective on what this means for the Royal Family, King Charles, and the future of the monarchy. Plus, Jephson reflects on his own long-awaited vindication in the Martin Bashir scandal and the lasting fallout from Diana’s Panorama interview. Is this just the beginning of a much larger reckoning? Original air date 19 February 2026.
