British Royal Family News says that Prince Andrew certainly wasn’t happy with the way that he was presented during his BBC Nightline interview in which he denied any connection to alleged sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
As a matter of fact, he believes that he was portrayed much worse that he or anyone else on his team had expected. Here’s what you need to know.
British Royal Family News: Prince Andrew Fires Back Over Disastrous BBC Nightline Interview
BBC presenter Emily Maitlis recently told Radio Times in an interview, “We know that the palace was happy with the interview. We had plenty of engagement with them after it went out. I think their shock was not at the interview itself, but the reaction it caused in the days and weeks afterward.”
However, UK royal correspondent Neil Sean says that the palace was anything but pleased with the results of the interview, with a lot of media outlets calling it nothing short of a train wreck. In fact, Prince Andrew’s team believes that the sit down interview ultimately backfired on the royal.
“If anything we were all very sad that the situation had come to this,” the source claimed. A palace insider also believes that there might have been an agenda behind the way Emily Maitlis interviewed the prince to show him in anything but a positive light.
“[It] shows that the agenda was totally different from the agreed sit-down interview,” the source says, adding, “Prince Andrew agreed to a sit-down chat with no other assistance in the room – no notes to confer to unlike the production and presenter on screen, so for this to be paraded around the media as some kind of triumph shows just out of touch the BBC has become.
The interview was in no way seen as a celebration but an opportunity to give a frank and full account of his time and friendship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
