Hello and welcome back to the Americana Show. My name is Freddie Gray. I am the deputy editor of the

spectator and the US editor. And I'm pleased to tell you that this is the 10th year of the

Americano podcast. And I think it's fair to say it's been a fairly fascinating time in American politics, life and culture.

And that's what we talk about every episode on this podcast. So please keep listening and provide as much feedback as you like.

I'm delighted to be joined here at The Spectator's offices by Andrew Launey, who is the author of

entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York. And of course, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew

has been in the news yet again this week, Andrew, because of the Epstein files and his latest

huge document dump. And there's been plenty more incriminating, embarrassing, humiliating

evidence about Prince Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But it's quite interesting,

isn't it, that it's been the sort of secondary story because of the Peter Mandelson story, which of course has dominated the headlines in the last few days.

But it seems as though the public are slightly shrugging their shoulders about Andrew now.

And he seems to have been dismissed as just, you know, it's established that he had a dodgy relationship with Epstein and that it was covered up.

How bad are the latest revelations do you think if we look at them closely?

I think this is extraordinary dynamite.

I mean, they do back up at what I found in my four years of research.

Much of the stuff was taken out of my book because the publisher said it couldn't possibly be true.
