Now his brother is King.
And this was unprecedented when this week King Charles said, we will cooperate with the police if necessary.
And the royal family are in, you know, their future is never certain in the UK, but at the moment it feels very precarious indeed.
We elected a Labour government about 20 months ago now with Sir Keir Starmer as the leader.
They won a pretty significant majority, a very significant majority of seats in the House of Commons without actually a huge percentage of the votes.
It's just a sort of characteristic of our political system.
Now, as part of that administration, one of the most significant positions is, of course, the British ambassador to America.
Six months ago, maybe less, Peter Mandelson, Lord Peter Mandelson, was given that job here in D.C.
To gasps of shock.
from anybody within the media and anybody that knew anything about politics, because it was so obvious that coming down the line was going to be the Epstein files.
And one of the few photos we already had that didn't need to be released was Epstein and Mandelson on holiday in the Caribbean.
We know that the links between him and Epstein were incredibly tight.
And so now that we know the full implications of Mandelson's and his relationship with Epstein, as you say there, John, about giving away private policy information in 2008 crash, Mandelson was emailing Epstein saying, I'm just leaving Downing Street.
I'll give you a call to tell you what we're doing about bailing out the banks.
That's...
potentially extremely criminal activity, potentially could lead to life sentence in prison.
Mandels has now gone off grid.
He stepped down, gave up his title, lost his position.
And of course, questions are asked about the prime minister.
How could you have given this man such a plum role?
