## Resource

In an exclusive interview with Andy & Neil, Scott Hamer - a former Senior Royal Protection Officer - reveals what it's like to protect the highest profile people in the country. Scott worked with the former Prince Andrew at times, as well as many other Royals and top politicians - he responds to the claims that some of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's protection team may have become too close to the former Royal. Scott also speaks candidly about what the former Duke of York was like as a principal and gives his view on whether fellow officers might ever have turned a blind eye to any criminal activity involving Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. Plus, did Andrew's protection team even know about Epstein's convictions when the former Prince stayed at the late paedophile's house in New York in 2010? Scott gives his verdict, and later, Andy & Neil react to Scott's exclusive insights. Follow us on social media: @thecrimeagents
