- After the temporary arrest of 66-year-old ex-Prince Andrew, Markus Lanz and Richard David Precht devoted an episode of 'Lanz + Precht' to the Epstein-Files.
- Precht described being a king's son or daughter as an unhealthy existence that grants undeserved privileges and argued abolishing Norway's monarchy could serve as a liberating blow.

- Precht noted that still more than half of Norwegians want to retain the monarchy, which limits immediate momentum for abolition.
No, but abolishing the royal house would be a wonderful liberation move to show that the Norwegians really are the good guys.— Richard David Precht in the podcast episode 'Lanz + Precht', where he discusses the Epstein Files and Epstein connections to the royal houses.
