The Royals, The Truth and $$$ - plus SLAPPS! | Ep.79 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

Andrew and Phil go where many royal reporters fear to tread, to reveal the shocking sexual allegations and dirty financial dealings that are alleged to lie behind the tangled and scandalous lives of numerous famous royal names.

What has Andrew found our about the secret lives of the royals as he researched his numerous books?

Improving access to information about the rich and powerful - especially the British royal family - is a theme of this podcast, and so we are keen to learn more about the ways that oligarchs, corporations and Princes seek to prevent reporters and writes doing their jobs. David Hooper, one of London’s top lawyers, joins us to discuss the scandalous use of so-called SLAPPs - law suits meant to intimidate journalists and restrict their access to the truth.
