Prince Andrew, Epstein, and the Psychology of Entitlement | A Psychiatrist with Andrew Lownie

Feb 6, 2026 | In this episode of Shrinking the World, consultant psychiatrist Dr Raj Persaud is joined by historian and author Andrew Lownie to examine the psychology behind Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with powerful and influential figures — including Prince Andrew.

Rather than focusing on allegations or sensational detail, this discussion explores the psychological patterns that appear repeatedly in Epstein’s social world: power, entitlement, flattery, transactional relationships, and the erosion of boundaries among elites who are used to access and privilege.
