Royalty & The Law: Prince Andrew & The Duke of Windsor | Ep.52 | Scandal Mongers Podcast
Manage episode 398212006 series 3515377
We have two scandalous stories this week, but on a similar theme.
Firstly our friend Dai Davies - former top royal protection officer - returns to the podcast to talk about how his former colleagues in the Metropolitan police have been dealing with royal scandals recently, and especially their interest (or lack of!) in certain allegations involving Prince Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York, and his past life as a trade envoy. Are we really all equal before the law in modern Britain?
Then Andrew and Phil are joined by American fingerprint expert Pat Wertheim to discuss one of the greatest unsolved royal mysteries of all time - the murder of multi millionaire Harry Oakes in the Bahamas during the Second World War, whilst the Duke of Windsor - former King Edward VIII - is governor of the island. Is the Duke, along with others close to the case, involved in unusual financial dealings? Why did he treat the murder investigation in such an unorthodox manner? And why was an innocent man almost sent to the gallows whilst the obvious suspect walked clean away?
It’s a colourful tale worthy of Agatha Christie and, although the mystery has still not been solved, Pat and Andrew share their theories!
You can buy books from the authors we feature here in our own Scandal Mongers bookshop - along with thousands more.
