Sensationalist gossip, or rigorous research? In this episode of History Calling, I review Andrew Lownie's new royal biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, one of the most talked-about royal books of 2025. This unauthorized exposé dives deep into the lives of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, uncovering shocking secrets, scandalous affairs, and behind-the-scenes royal controversies the public was never meant to know.
In this extensive book review I break down the book’s most jaw-dropping claims and discussions, including:
• What Lownie says about Prince Andrew’s links to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and his interactions with Virginia Roberts, also known as Virginia Giuffre.
• Financial mismanagement across the decades and scandals surrounding the Royal Lodge
• Untold stories about Fergie’s debt, spending habits, and public image
• An alleged rift between Prince Andrew and Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex including the claims of a physical alternation between Harry and Andrew which Harry says never happened
Authored by historian and investigative biographer Andrew Lownie, Entitled is based on around 300 interviews, freedom of information requests (not all of which were successful mind you) and never-before-seen royal documents. Whether you're a royal watcher, biography lover, or simply fascinated by the British monarchy, this is a must-watch breakdown of one of the most controversial royal books in years and one in which I also discuss whether Andrew Lownie is a reputable writer and historian, the quality of the evidence provided in Entitled and his research methodology.
