Jamal Khashoggi: Robert Lacey discusses latest developments on Today Programme

Robert Lacey joined Frank Gardner on the BBC’s Today Programme on 16 October to discuss the disappearance and apparent murder of Saudi journalist and Robert’s friend Jamal Khashoggi.

Robert said he had last met Jamal three months ago in London where he was talking about his plan to marry again and settle down.

There was no indication at this point that Jamal was a “marked man”, but Robert said Mr Khashoggi’s murder will have undoubtably been signed off from the top.

Robert explained:

Jamal had been right at the heart of the establishment for many years – an insider – who had turned against the way in which Mohammed bin Salman is changing the nature of Saudi Arabia.

Speaking earlier, Robert Lacey said: “Prince Ph Speaking earlier, Robert Lacey said:

“Prince Philip has been such an integral part of our life. Playing such a key role in the life of the nation.

It was no accident that we decided to feature Prince Philip very strongly in the Crown episode about the moon landing – capturing his interests in science and how he came to understand that science can only take you so far. He went on to develop a strong personal religious faith.

He also helped in bringing the monarchy into touch with everyday life in a fresh way. So many of The Queen’s fresh ideas and fresh initiatives came from this remarkable man.

Prince Philip will be remembered for his sardonic smile, hands behind the back, often unfailingly 2 steps behind Her Majesty. Always there in the most supporting sense.”

Photograph from 1972 in Robert Lacey's book Majesty. “Queen Elizabeth was always front, but Prince Philip was always center.”
