Former Buckingham Palace press officer Dickie Arbiter described the Prince Andrew interview as 'not so much a car crash but an articulated lorry crash.”
The insistent and polite interview by Emily Maitlis was viewed as a big gamble in a country where royals traditionally stay tight-lipped and try to maintain a strong grip on their public image.
Among the moments seized upon by British commentators was Andrew’s claim that he went to stay with Epstein in New York for four days in 2010, after Epstein served time for soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution, in order to break off the friendship. In an interview with NBC News, Roya Nikkhah, The Sunday Times royal correspondent, said the interview left a lot of questions unanswered.
