About this episode
The episode explores the relationship between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, particularly in the context of their connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the implications for British society.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been poured over by the press – but what about their relationship with one another? New Times reporting reveals they met for the first time in 1999 at an NSPCC charity event, and continued a mutually advantageous relationship for a decade. So how do the people who brought them together feel about it now? And what can it tell us about how power works in the upper echelons of British society?
