ANDREW LOWNIE: The Royal Family, Epstein, FOI Battles and Britain’s Culture of Secrecy

About this episode

Andrew Lownie is the author of a best-selling exposé about the former Prince Andrew. When the FSU's David Rose asks Lownie whether we have free speech about the Royal Family, his answer is blunt: “No, absolutely not.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Lownie explains how access, patronage, legal threats and secrecy shape public discussion of the monarchy — and why he believes his determination to expose the truth made him a target of state surveillance.
