Once untouchable, now sidelined, Britain’s most infamous royals are facing a season of scrutiny like no other. Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl promises to shine a devastating light on Prince Andrew’s role in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. For the Duke of York, already living in social exile, the book could reignite questions the Palace hoped were buried forever. 

Meanwhile, historian Andrew Lownie has just published Entitled, a portrait of Andrew as arrogant, reckless, and humiliated, with claims from hundreds of sources painting a man trapped in disgrace.  

From self-imposed exile across the Atlantic, Meghan Markle – wife of Prince Harry – is back on Netflix with With Love, Meghan, and reflecting in publicity interviews on her departure from royal life. Veteran royal reporter Richard Palmer joins Ciara Doherty to explore what these parallel narratives reveal about the monarchy’s relationship to reputation, exile, and control.
