Robert Hardman: Royal Correspondent on the legal cases against Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the calls to remove Andrew from succession

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Legal cases against Lord Mandelson and former Prince Andrew are in the works as officials tread carefully to avoid prejudicing the proceedings.  The UK Government is hoping to release files on why former UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were appointed to their high-profile roles despite ties to Jeffrey Epstein.  Royal Correspondent Robert Hardman told Mike Hosking because of the ongoing legal case, no one wants to prejudice it.  He says generally the view is, regardless of the outcome of the legal process, Andrew has behaved so appallingly they don't want him anywhere near the throne.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
