Were the Royals warned about Prince Andrew's risky ties to Jeffrey Epstein, or did fears of blackmail, bribes, and hidden sex tapes keep everything buried until now? On this revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, royal historian and Prince Andrew expert Andrew Lownie returns for a deep dive into the explosive implications of Prince Andrew's arrest. Drawing from newly released Epstein files and his extensive research—including his trilogy on the disgraced royal—Lownie explores the mutually beneficial yet deeply corrupt relationship between Andrew and Epstein. Beyond the sexual misconduct allegations, the discussion uncovers how Andrew allegedly shared confidential information from his time as UK trade envoy in exchange for financial favors, including payoffs for his ex-wife's debts. What hidden details do you think the remaining Epstein files still hold about Prince Andrew and the royal family's knowledge?
