On the latest episode of Good Weekend Talks, freelance writer and former BBC correspondent Nick Bryant assesses the rise and fall of Prince Andrew, and explains how the fortunes of the Queen's favourite son have tracked those of his country.

Joining him on Good Weekend Talks is Rob Harris, Europe correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, who theorises that Prince Andrew's fall was less about his relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and more about the car-crash interview he did with the BBC, in which he became “royal roadkill”. Hosting this chat is Greg Callaghan, deputy editor of Good Weekend Magazine.
