Emily Maitlis has 'unfinished business' with Prince Andrew | LBC

[@mindslaw4961]

For many years, talking about Andrew’s vile behaviour was considered rude and inappropriate. Emily Maitlis gave those of us who had been yelling about that man for years a real gift by getting him on the record in public.

[@thetruth1167]

After filming Andrew and his PR team thought the interview went extremely well, just shows how out of touch these people are🤦

[@MaRi-Br1984]

Which goes to show how powerful people tend to surround themselves with yes man rather than truthful people, there’s no way that interview could have sounded right to anyone other than Andrew himself, maybe not even him if he had a tiny bit of common sense.

[@REDinitial]

Not his PR team, apparently his team's advice was not to have an interview at all, the ye olde "never complain, never explain". He on the other hand did think that he did quite well.

Agreed. I think both Ruth and Micheal were superb. I’ve just started to rewatch the actual interview and Michael’s pauses and inflections, etc, are spot on. I would have liked to know how much of the show was added in for “entertainment purposes”, but overall, it was an interesting watch.

[@coppershark1973]

It hasn’t mattered though has it? Nothing has changed. He is still around, slowly being slotted back in to our lives. His family haven’t disowned him or gone on the record with an opinion. Nothing has changed. The interview meant nothing in the end. If you are rich you can get away with anything, just ask Huw.

[@mustrumridcully3853]

Reputationally Andrew is finished. His social circle (the thing he loves) has been severely curtailed. Charlie knows the damage Andrew represents, so he will be conveniently shuffled to the side and quietly forgotten. For a man like Andrew with such an ego, that's a nice petard to see him on. Not enough, but it helps.

[@rossmurray6849]

Maitlis employed the perfect strategy during the interview -- letting him talk. She knew going into interview that he was an overconfident idiot - simply from the fact that he had agreed to do it.

There was a fine line to balance, she had to keep him talking and not make him clam up and stop the interview. I think she walked that line well, set the right traps for him to fall into. If she'd pushed to hard to force an outright admission, he would have just shut down right there as that would be less damaging that said admission.

[@tt-ew7rx]

The Andrew interview existed entirely because Andrew did it, apparently against advice. The interview was a one-man show and the interviewer only needed to be there and ask standard questions as his act progressed, which was what she did. He could have been interviewed by ChatGPT and the result would have been exactly the same. The Edwards interview, which you seem so desperate to see, did not happen solely because of the non-participation of Edwards. I'm sure many people and organizations proposed interviews with him, which would have been standard behaviour of the media.

[@raqueldobson1]

I think she did a great job in making people realise that they don’t think like normal people because of the environment they are born into… there aren’t the comparisons & it’s hard for the general public to get their heads around that… in essence, they have a warped sense of self & what they do they do not consider wrong, the ‘normal’ rules aren’t applied to them & they know it… it’s a fascinating social study in some ways, how narcissists think…

[@LuzDoSol-yr5bv]

@raqueldobson1 Great analyses!!! Yeah. I do wish people would talk more about it the way you just put it. I am not ant monarchy. It's the opposite. Britain has an unique setup. I wouldn't get used to a president. And politicians have to connect with Royals and so on. It's just that interview that really exposed them. Princess Katerina is another example; why does a cancer surviver have to put up a so vulnerable video? Prince Harry and the hate people are feeling for him and his wife, etc. Another word is a part of Andrew's mistakes. They still humans.

There is always a possibility in life to cut your ties with your parents or disagree their wrong doings. I’m not even talking about how the show displays his POV. Who cares about his POV in talking with Epstein really? We do not even know that his reason to meet Epstein as he explained was lie or not. Comparing the interview itself, the show is a big disappointment.
