Prince Andrew 'let the side down'

Here's a clip from Prince Andrew's interview where he regrets remaining friends with Epstein after his conviction because he let the royal family down. Not a single mention of Epstein's victims and how they were let down.

He also does not recall meeting Virginia Giuffre, despite the photos saying otherwise.

I can't believe he did any interview in the first place, but surely he is digging an even bigger hole for himself here.

He’s only doing this because he has been told to. I guess he got shouted at because he got caught, rather than because he did it.

I haven't seen /read the interview but he makes my skin crawl. With two young daughters himself and he definitely knew what was going on.

God, the chuckle, followed by the apology for "letting the side down" - just stomach churning.

Agree that is incredibly carefully phrased -"I have no recollection of" my arse.

I hope Emily asks him if he considers himself a fit and proper person to work with children's charities.

I have no idea why he did the interview because he's just made it even more obvious.

On BBC news last night the palace had denied all the claims but only 'strongly denied' the orgy.

He's vile. Nothing he says will make any difference. Even after epstein was convicted he was enjoying free jaunts to meet him. Disguising and shameful that he escaped justice.

Tim Shipman tweeted asking why he's worded his denial in a way that is usually taken to be a tacit admission that you did it, but aren't going to say so directly. I had thought the same.

My guess is that he's aware there is other evidence out there, and wants to avoid the outright lie in case it surfaces. But the damage will be done now in most people's eyes. Lots of tweets in reply pointing out the photograph of him with her.

He definitely knows.

I don't think he can weather this storm, I think his reputation is irreversibly ruined now. He will never have to face legal consequences for his actions but the public hate him and it doesn't matter how often Fergie tweets about how great he is we all know he is a sexual predator.

I just saw this clip on the news and it's just repugnant - the way he chuckles...

He knows.
