Entitled: The Royal Biographer Who Took Down a Prince

Andrew Lownie interviewed by Kate Fenton It’s been described as “the most devastating royal biography ever written” (Daily Mail), and “the book that shook the monarchy” (The Standard). Andrew Lownie spent years investigating the greed and excesses of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson for his book Entitled, which has since been updated with some extra explosive material. It’s a stark and compelling portrait of a prince once considered handsome, charming, and heroic. From co-piloting helicopters during the Falkland’s war to national disgrace, tied to Epstein’s grubby inner circle; a long fall from grace, with no going back. Using court papers, correspondence and freedom of information disclosures, Lownie shares the story behind his coolly forensic look at entitlement, poor judgement and institutional cover-ups. In the hot seat, promising not to make him sweat, is festival patron, Kate Fenton. “It reads like a tragedy, one of Shakespearean proportions — two minor royals with major appetites, brought down not by conspiracy but by greed and flawed character.” – Robert Jobson
