Andrew Lownie: The Rise and Fall of the House of York image
Synopsis:

Royal biographies are commonly drama-filled but in Andrew Lownie’s Entitled, scandal, corruption, and cover-ups take centre stage. The historian’s dual biography of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson draws on four years of research, FOI requests, and hundreds of interviews, tracing the reputational collapse of the pair, from their links with Epstein to misconduct in office. Lownie joins us in conversation, offering an insight into his research and the grift and corruptions of ‘high society’. Chaired by Lucia Osborne-Crowley.
