Special episode: ‘bombshell’ Andrew revelations explained
5/22/202625 min
The police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is back in the headlines. In this special episode, Andy & Neil react to the latest developments and break down why it's so significant that detectives are now considering looking at allegations of sexual misconduct by the former Prince as part of their ongoing inquiries.
They also explain how this investigation has already become one of the biggest in British history, why political interference is making the police's job so much harder, and why Trump's US Justice Department is yet to hand over key, unredacted documents from the Epstein Files. Plus, Neil gives an insight into what it will be like for the detectives working on this case to have the eyes of the world following their every move.
