The Duke of York speaks to Emily Maitlis about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him.
In a world exclusive interview, Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis speaks to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York at Buckingham Palace.
For the first time, the Duke addresses in his own words the details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
In 2015, Prince Andrew was named in court papers as part of a US civil case against Epstein.
The Prince, who is the Queen’s third child, also answers questions about the allegations made against him by one of Epstein’s victims, and discusses the impact of the scandal on the Royal family and his work.

There is no reason to remove comments that are baseless. At this point, the BBC.. and media in general are going for damage control. They know that people are waking up to the total bullshit narrative that we are presented with, and it's spreading like absolute wildfire. This whole interview feels scripted to me, as in he was aware of the questions and already had the answers waiting. The BBC looks like they gave a grilling and Andrew wins some idiots over. Win/win right? We need to stop letting them control the narrative the whole world gets to hear, and regulate the fuck out of it.

You are a father to a girl and you stay with a convicted sex offender for daysssss. You just happen to visit him everytime you’re in the US but not for “massages” only for convenience. Like how dumb did he think the world was please?

[@megurquhart3685]

Soooo many things wrong with this man. I could fill a book. But one of the most insane and horrific, to the point of wanting to shake him and scream profanities at him, is when he describes his conversation with Epstein in 2010. Saying that he was ending the friendship due to the scrutiny on himself as a member of the royal family. That it would be inappropriate for them to be seen together. Not something to the effect of “you have been convicted of sex crimes against a minor; one of the most disgusting and heinous things a person could ever do; therefore I want nothing to do with you. You are an evil human being and I’m horrified that I ever thought of you as a friend”. He only ends the friendship due to the optics of it all. I don’t understand how someone could think that that makes sense and still consider themselves to be a good person. The lack of intelligence and any kind of self awareness that would lead a person to think that it makes sense to say that he went to have a public, in person conversation to tell someone that you can’t see them anymore. It’s inconceivable. He says that we have to remember that at the time he was the patron of the NSPCC’s full stop campaign, he was supposed to be a champion for children. Yet there is no mention of him chastising Epstein during that conversation, defending the children he has been empowered to protect, not does he express any disgust in Epstein’s behaviour. Which leads to, why would he be disgusted if he, himself was exhibiting the same behaviour. He gives himself away over and over throughout the interview. He is the lowest form of human. Someday he will have to answer for what he has done, even if it’s not in this lifetime. He is the lowest form of human. I could go on and on but I will leave it there for now.
