Britain’s Prince Andrew lambasted after ‘catastrophic’ interview on Epstein links
- The prince was criticised for his lack of judgment and empathy with alleged victims of US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
- Public relations experts have branded the hour-long interview ‘disastrous’
Queen Elizabeth’s second son was lambasted from all quarters for his lack of judgment and empathy with the victims, his extraordinary defence that he was at a high street pizza restaurant and had never sweated, and his claim that he only stayed at the sex offender’s home because he was “too honourable’”
The unprecedented interview was the first time Andrew has answered questions about Virginia Robert’s allegations.
It was a PR gamble intended to clear his name but in attempting to justify his relationship with Epstein, Andrew appeared on Sunday to have opened himself up to even greater criticism.
Roberts, now Giuffre, claims she was forced to have sex with the royal on three occasions – in London in 2001 when she was 17, in New York and on Epstein’s private Caribbean island.
