Defence of the Realm: Prince Andrew, Mountbatten and the British Establishment’s protection racket

In the House of Commons, a Labour minister described Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as a ‘man on a constant self-aggrandising and self-enriching hustle; a rude, arrogant and entitled man who could not distinguish between the public interest, which he said he served, and his own private interest’.

This is undoubtedly true but is Andrew the exception or the norm?

On Free State we look how the establishment has protected the monarchy at all costs.

We recall the horrific abuse in Kincora and the work done by Chris Moore to uncover Louis Mountbatten’s part in that scandal.

When the future of the monarchy is discussed, is what has been revealed in the Epstein files an aberration or simply another chapter in a long history of self enriching hustle and worse?
