About this listen

The former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the first arrest of a senior royal in centuries. Held for nearly 12 hours and released under investigation, he has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing. The arrest relates to allegations that, while serving as UK trade envoy, he may have shared confidential government information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, former Cabinet minister Peter Mandelson has also been arrested over similar allegations. In this episode, we break down what misconduct in public office actually means under UK law, why arrest thresholds can differ between high-profile suspects, and whether privilege influences process. We examine the wider fallout from the Epstein files, public trust in institutions, accountability for powerful figures, and the broader implications for the UK justice system. As always, our primary focus remains the victims at the centre of the Epstein case, and the unanswered questions that continue to fuel public anger.
