TRIGGERnometry · The Truth About the Royal Family with Royal Reporter Robert Hardman · 8 Aug 2026 podcast

Um the king is the head of d judiciary, so th he has to tread carefully.

But I mean you could hardly have

dispatched Andrew to a more uh more of a sort of internal Siberia, if you like, than a sort of farmhouse at the end of a lane in the middle of nowhere in Norfolk.

That's where he is.

So uh yeah, he's a he's a blot on the on the royal name, and

he still people can understand that the that the monarchy is is different.

I don't think it's done um any great damage to to to the idea of of constitutional monarchy.

I mean it's it's it's clearly embarrassing um for the House of Windsor.

But, you know, the the the the the monarchy moves on.

Where it would have been, I think, very dangerous is if he'd been in in in line to the throne.

there actually any serious chance of him being our head of state.

At that point, I think, you know, the monarchy would have been in great trouble, but he's not.

He's

He's disposable and and one day he will be gone.

I th I think it is it it is it's fair to apportion a degree of blame to the late Queen.

I think the way that uh she's effectively now, um, because she's conveniently no longer around, we just pin everything on her and say it's all her fault.

Andrew is her fault.

I totally disagree with that.

Um I mean I went into some detail in this in in the book.

I mean there's no question Andrew was behaving monstrously uh long before.
