The infamous photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew in Central Park confirmed their connection. But with a new lawsuit looming—and as Buckingham Palace pulls away—Andrew is forced to face the consequences alone. MarkPSeal reports:
“The muscle memory is that you stop thinking, Oh, my gosh, that’s the prince, or, Oh, my gosh, I’m in Buckingham Palace, or, ‘Oh, my goodness, I’m asking about sex or impropriety,” she says. “The muscle memory is just: I need to get this right. I just need to know. I just need you to answer the questions because that’s how I tell the audience what’s actually happened.”
with the offer of a no-holds-barred interview. It was a long shot. “The royal family doesn’t do on-the-record interviews,” says someone familiar with the situation. “They’re on the record to talk about their initiatives. But not just randomly.” Members of the royal family had become especially skittish about granting on-camera interviews ever since Princess Diana bared her soul toStill, Maitlis gamely delivered her pitch.
Others insist that the ultimate decision to do the interview was Andrew’s alone: “Nobody could convince Prince Andrew to do something if he didn’t want to do it himself.” Those who opposed the interview—reportedly including Sarah Ferguson—were overruled. Andrew, it appeared, was actually considering the unthinkable: submitting to an on-camera interview without conditions—“nothing like, ‘You can only have 10 minutes to ask me about Ghislaine and Epstein, and that’s all,’” says one astonished royal observer.
“I remember saying to Esme, ‘Do I say ‘Your Highness’ all the way through…or at the beginning and end of the interview?’”“Not just details of a sex life, but potentially incriminating details that we knew could be used forensically…in any future court proceeding.” “Your Royal Highness, we’ve come to Buckingham Place in highly unusual circumstances,” Maitlis began. “Normally, we’d be discussing your work, your duty, and we’ll come on to that, but today you’ve chosen to speak out for the first time. Why have you decided to talk now?”From that point forward, as Maitlis later put it, Andrew was “unleashed. Unstoppable. After a decade of silent frustration, he wanted to tell me everything…He told me things he had no need to reveal.
Andrew said he had gone to New York “with the sole purpose” of severing ties with Epstein, “of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together.” That, he claimed, is precisely what he was telling Epstein when they were photographed walking together in Central Park.
As for his hand around her waist, well, “as a member of the royal family…I take very, very few photographs. I am not one to, as it were, hug, and public displays of affection are not something that I do.” Now he detailed it all before the cameras, his “peculiar medical condition [caused by] what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at, and I simply…it was almost impossible for me to sweat.”
