Buckingham Palace's greatest fear came true when the FBI arrested then Prince Andrew's friend Jeffrey Epstein on charges of under-age sex trafficking. Downfall tells the story behind the key players and allegations in this unique, high-stakes royal drama. It provides a gripping and behind-the-scenes insight into the hidden privileges enjoyed by global power brokers, royalty and billionaires, which they defend tooth and nail with lawyers to keep quiet. This is more than the story of one man; it is a portrait of an institution in crisis, revealing how the monarchy as we know it is now deeply at risk.
