How I’ll Hold Royals to Account Over Epstein Ties

About this episode

Andrew Lownie discusses the implications of his book on the royal family's ties to Epstein.

Andrew Lownie returns to the Daily Beast Podcast to discuss the explosive new paperback edition of his hit book Entitled, revealing how fresh disclosures, newly surfaced Epstein-related material, and a widening police investigation have intensified scrutiny of ex-Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, and the wider royal family. Lownie argues that what began as a story about one disgraced royal has evolved into a far larger reckoning over privilege, secrecy, and accountability at the heart of the monarchy, while detailing allegations of financial dealings, palace protection, and behind-the-scenes efforts to contain the fallout. He also explains why King Charles may have mishandled the crisis, why Prince William reportedly wants a much tougher approach, what life looks like now for Andrew and Fergie, and why he believes the biggest revelations may still be ahead as more sources come forward and his next book begins to take shape.
