Prince Andrew Gives Disastrous Interview Defending His Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

Prince Andrew is being widely ridiculed after giving a disastrous interview in which he attempted to defend his relatinoship with Jeffrey Epstein as well as trying to deny he ever had a relationship with Epstein’s ‘sex slave’ Virginia Roberts.

As The Daily Mail reports:

The Duke of York faced questions on BBC Newsnight about his links to Epstein who was found dead aged 66 earlier this year in a prison cell while being held on sex trafficking charges.

Andrew maintained he does not recall meeting Miss Roberts and did not spend time with her at Tramp Nightclub in London on March 10 in 2001 after which she claims the pair first had sex.

The duke denied he slept with her on three separate occasions, saying the encounter in 2001 did not happen as he had taken his daughter Princess Beatrice to Pizza Express in Woking for a party, and they spent the rest of the day together.

Andrew also attempted to claim that he had ‘no idea’ that Epstein used girls for sex trafficking in spite of the fact that the two spent quite a lot of time together and were good friends.

The interview seems to have convinced very few of Prince Andrew’s innocence and only made him look worse, as reactions on social media illustrated:

absolutely astonishing that Prince Andrew openly admits he doesn’t regret being friends with a sex trafficker because that sex trafficker was “actually very useful” to him personally and professionally . he doesn’t even see anything wrong with that statesment pic.twitter.com/CeJV4DJysd

The spin doctor walked off the job after he couldn’t dissuade Prince Andrew from sitting for the BBC interview in which he called Epstein’s sex crimes “unbecoming” https://t.co/cz1DXMgqKr

Monarchy is disgusting. The British royal family is particularly gross. And showing Prince Andrew humiliating himself as he tries to explain his frequent dalliances with Jeffrey Epstein, only to reveal how repulsive he is, is a public service: https://t.co/ALNBBsH1Uv

This is one of the most astonishing interviews I’ve ever watched. Brilliant forensic dissection by @maitlis – desperate, toe-curling bullsh*t from Prince Andrew. Why on earth did he do this? Insane. pic.twitter.com/cF0UBBAlvG
