This episode goes behind the polished words of Buckingham Palace to unpack the public relations machinery that managed the downfall of Prince Andrew.

In October 2025, King Charles III formally removed all of Andrew’s titles and evicted him from his Windsor residence.
On the surface, it looked like accountability.
But beneath the royal phrasing lay a carefully timed communications plan.

We’ll walk through the anatomy of that plan: how one resurfaced email reignited the scandal, how two precisely timed statements reframed it,
 and how the Palace’s language turned a personal disgrace into an institutional act of duty.
