About this listen

 Explosive new claims reopen the darkest chapter of the House of York. Fresh reporting alleges Sarah Ferguson carried on an affair inside Prince Andrew’s private study — while he slept upstairs. The accusations, drawn from multiple books and former household staff, revive memories of the York marriage’s spectacular collapse and the Palace’s fury at Ferguson’s behaviour.

Meanwhile, biographer Andrew Lownie says the dam has finally burst. Former protection officers, diplomats, naval figures, and palace insiders are now coming forward daily with new allegations about Andrew, prompting plans for a sequel rather than a simple book update. Sources warn there is now enough material to haunt the monarchy for years, with fears Andrew could ultimately flee abroad if pressure escalates further.

We also look at why Lownie’s newly announced Prince Philip project has triggered quiet alarm inside royal circles, as well as the contrast on display elsewhere in the family: Catherine releases a deeply personal cancer recovery film marking her birthday, while Queen Camilla promotes the growing reach of her Reading Room charity. As the York scandals resurface yet again, the Palace faces an uncomfortable truth — some ghosts simply refuse to stay buried.

Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.
