Andrew’s Comeback? New Biography Claims He Feels “Thrown to the Wolves”

About this episode

The episode discusses Prince Andrew's portrayal in a new biography and the contrasting views of those who know him.

Prince Andrew is back in the headlines as a new edition of Andrew Lownie’s biography presents sharply conflicting portraits of the Duke of York. Friends and former girlfriends describe a thoughtful, loyal man, while former military colleagues recall entitlement and demands for deference. We also examine claims that Andrew believes he has been unfairly treated, why Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie continue to defend their family’s position, and a new analysis arguing the York sisters remain financially secure thanks to royal property, trust funds, and lucrative careers. Plus: the unusual constitutional reason King Charles technically doesn’t need a driver’s licence—and why Queen Camilla still does. Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor. New episodes every day.
