Prince Andrew in new ‘N-word’ row - after disastrous Newsnight interview on Epstein

The public reaction to Prince Andrew’s interview for the BBC’s Newsnight has been described as “catastrophic”. There’s been nothing from the Prince or the Palace since it was released on Saturday. But others are talking – the Standard columnist Rohan Silva, a former government adviser, has written about a meeting with The Queen’s second son, in which he claims the N-word was used. That has been denied by Buckingham Palace. The Evening Standard’s Jonathan Prynn joins The Leader podcast to talk about our front page exclusive.

The Wallace Collection has agreed to lend its Titian, Perseus and Andromeda to The National Gallery, for the first time in 400 years. For 300 years, six canvases by Titian have been kept apart. When last attempted to be brought together, they were blocked by an obscure 19th century clause. Robert Dex our Arts correspondent joins the podcast to tell us why these pieces are so special and why they were kept apart for so long.
