What in the World - The Andrew Formerly known as Prince

Download The Andrew Formerly known as Prince

How does someone stop being a prince? The UK's King Charles has announced that his brother Andrew will no longer have this or any of his other titles after public pressure over his links with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He will also have to vacate his royal mansion in Windsor.

This is a rare move in royal history. In this episode we break down the main points and take a closer look at the people key to the story: the former prince; the King; Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, a victim of sex trafficking who alleged Andrew had sex with her three times as a teenager and whose memoir was recently published.
