## Resource

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested and is being held in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office after police were seen at the Sandringham estate on his 66th birthday. In an unprecedented move, the King issued a statement saying the “law must take its course”. As scrutiny intensifies over Andrew’s decade as UK trade envoy and what the Epstein files appear to suggest about that period, Roya Nikkhah is joined by Harry Yorke and Charlotte Alt to talk about how this moment could affect the monarchy, and whether the institution has ever faced pressure on this scale. Guest: Harry Yorke, Deputy Political Editor, The Sunday Times. Charlotte Alt, News Reporter, The Times. Producer: Robert Wallace Executive Producer: Priyanka Deladia Image: Getty Hosted on Acast.
