Epstein, The Royals & Power: Dr Raj Persaud and Andrew Lownie Investigate

Описание: Newly released Epstein files have reignited questions about the Royal Family, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew and a network of powerful figures whose relationships with Jeffrey Epstein are under renewed scrutiny.

On this episode of Shrinking The World, Dr Raj Persaud — consultant psychiatrist in Harley Street — is joined by historian and royal biographer Andrew Lownie to examine the latest revelations. They explore Fergie’s “marry me” emails, patterns of flattery and intimacy around Epstein, the psychology of entitlement and transactional power, and what these disclosures may mean for the monarchy.

The conversation looks at:

• Why so many high-profile figures appeared unusually close to Epstein
• The psychology of influence, status and boundary-crossing
• Prince Andrew’s position within the wider royal institution
• Whether the Epstein files represent a reputational tipping point
• How elite networks operate behind closed doors

This discussion analyses publicly reported material and released documents. It does not make new allegations. All individuals mentioned are innocent unless proven otherwise.
