The Prince, the Moat, and the Meat Loaf: Andrew’s Royal Knockout Disaster
Episode 8 min 31s
Before Jeffrey Epstein, before the BBC interview, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s reputation for royal chaos began with a moat and a Meat Loaf. Author Andrew Lownie reveals the moment the prince tried to shove the rock legend into the water during It’s a Royal Knockout—a TV fiasco so bad it made the monarchy a national punchline. Now Andrew’s daughters face scrutiny of their own, with Princess Beatrice’s Saudi photo op drawing fury and Tom Sykes calling King Charles “mad” for giving her royal duties. Meanwhile, oddsmakers are betting on whether Andrew or Fergie will join The Traitors, and Lownie says new witnesses keep coming forward—claiming the Duke’s arrogance could soon send him fleeing the country.
