Despite stepping back from his official royal role in 2019, Prince Andrew's ability to dominate the headlines throughout 2021 has given our panel on Palace Confidential plenty to talk about all year long.

Following the death of his father in April, the Duke of York crept out of the woodwork to speak to the press on behalf of the family, prompting criticism that he was using Prince Philip's death to step into the role as head of the family. His attempts to rehabilitate his image continued, with his former wife Sarah Ferguson speaking on ITV's Lorraine of him being a ‘thoroughly good man’.

Both in the UK and US, many were less convinced that Andrew should return to public life – an opinion cemented for many when it was revealed that the Prince was due to be sued by Virginia Giuffre, one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Whilst Prince Andrew denied all allegations, our panel agreed that he was left in a sticky situation: go to court and risk more reputational damage, or pay Giuffre off, and leave it to the public to whisper over whether or not he would have been found guilty.

In this special episode, we’ve put together some of the biggest talking points and most jaw-dropping moments from the story of Prince Andrew in 2021.
