About this episode

The episode discusses the latest developments in the inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and the implications of newly released government files.

Two significant developments surround the story of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. First, detectives investigating Andrew could examine allegations of sexual misconduct and corruption as part of their inquiry into potential misconduct in public office. Andrew has not been charged and denies all wrongdoing. Secondly, newly released government files show that it was the late Queen’s wish for Andrew to take on the prominent trade envoy role now under scrutiny. Roya Nikkhah is joined by The Sunday Times’s Whitehall correspondent Katie Tarrant to discuss the latest police developments and unpack the government files. We also hear from Fiona Hamilton, chief reporter for The Times, on the Thames Valley Police briefing.  Image: Getty Producer: Robert Wallace Executive Producer: Priyanka Deladia Read more: The Andrew files - read the documents in full Hosted on Acast.
