How I’ll Hold Royals to Account Over Epstein Ties | The Daily Beast Podcast

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. 00:00 - Prince Andrew Scandal & Royal Cover-Up Allegations 05:04 - How Andrew and Fergie Allegedly Profited from Royal Status 10:00 - The 33,000 Emails, Business Deals & Palace Knowledge 15:15 - Royal Transparency Campaign & Whether Andrew Will Face Charges 20:12 - King Charles, Prince William & The Future of the Royal Family 25:01 - Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon Speculation and Ongoing Epstein Fallout 29:21 - Andrew Lownie’s Next Book and Final Thoughts on the Royal Scandal #news #podcast #epsteinfiles #princeandrew #ghislainemaxwell 📖 Title: How I’ll Hold Royals to Account Over Epstein Ties 👂 Podcast: The Daily Beast Podcast 📺 Episode: 709 🎧 Format: Full Podcast 📅 Date: June 3, 2026 👨‍💼 Guest: Andrew Lownie 🎙️ Host: Joanna Coles Click here to become an official member of the Daily Beast's YouTube community: https://youtube.com/@TheDailyBeast/join Have a question or comment for us?
