Prince Andrew has agreed to speak publicly for the first time about his friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, in a “no holds barred” interview with the BBC’s Newsnight programme to be broadcast on Saturday night.

The prince has been the subject of fierce speculation over his relationship with the financier, who was found dead in a New York jail cell three months ago.

Epstein’s accuser Virginia Giuffre claims Prince Andrew was “an abuser, a participant” in her exploitation as a teenager and says she was coerced to have sex with him.

Ive always thought Andrew was dodgy, and the interview only happened because he knows he is ****ed. Let's not forget all the threats to news organisations if they dared to publish stories that came from the royal family organisation. All complicit in covering up what he was up to and using their status and money to threaten people

Didn’t we see footage of him in a house with his arm around the woman in question then footage showing him letting her out the front door .. with him peeping out looking sheepish ?

Now he’s saying he doesn’t remember ‘meeting’ her ??

Is this a different woman now ??

Like Cherie says, that's why it's the lawyer-talk line of "I have no recollection of meeting", not "I have never met". If or when evidence comes up that he HAS met the person in question, if he had said outright that he hasn't met her then that's revealed to be a flat out lie. If he simply says that he "doesn't recall" meeting her - then it can just be an "Oh, well I don't remember her".

His "seedy behaviour" was only "well known" because of the tabloids. And no, you didn't say his reputation makes his guilty. But it was intimated by the poster to whom I was responding. She (or indeed, he) said "His nickname at the time was Randy Andy ... that’s all you need to know". Not that it's ever a chore to talk to you, Marshy.

A few things don't ring true...the girl says Andrew was drinking heavily and dancing when he is the known teetotaler of the royal family and it was always said in the past he doesn't dance because he couldn't dance to save his life...
Also he provided a alibi for a date she said he was with her - and he says he had taken his daughters on that date to a fast food place or something which he remembers vividly because it was the first time he had ever done that. Surely he wouldnt have said that in an interview to the nation if that was a lie and it came to court?

I'm veering more on his side right now, because there is no definate proof against him. Waving bye bye to a girl in a pic could just mean he met her socially - and pics are so easily doctored now too....he says Epstein was probably hiding his activities from him, as a member of the royal family..Makes more sense than Andrew haing sex with underage girls, why would he when he was the 'handsome one' who could have his pick? I remember just after his divorce from Fergie it was reported that he was too boring and too sensible and dutiful, while she was a free spirit - the reason they broke up - love that they still mean so much to each other and are still together though!

Umm...actually it was Fergie who cheated on Andrew (who was on board ship on naval duties at the time) with her 'financial advisior' (photos of her, topless, having her toes sucked by same in the tabloids, spelled the end of their marriage). This was well before the Andrew/Epstein thing....

I'd need more proof than a relaxed, happy looking photo op to say he took advantage of that underage girl against her will....
I hate this thing that men are accused and accusations against them are so readily believed without proof. I no longer give my daughters friends from uni who descend on this old fool after a night out a lift home if they need it...I call a taxi for them...and pay for it, may I add....

Disastrous". That's the Mail on Sunday's verdict on Prince Andrew's TV interview, which makes the front of several of the Sunday newspapers after airing on Saturday evening.

The paper attacks him for not showing any sympathy for Jeffrey Epstein's victims. "Not one single word of remorse" is its front page headline.

The Sunday Mirror says that any reasonable person would be ashamed of being friends with the billionaire sex offender.

But, according to the paper, the Duke of York spent more time dwelling on the misery the scandal had caused him.

The Sunday Times reports that one palace source described the interview as "one of the single worst PR moves in recent history".

The duke's spin doctor is said to have left his job two weeks ago after advising Prince Andrew not to appear on Newsnight.

The article also suggests that aides to the Queen and the Prince of Wales regarded the decision to go ahead with the interview with "incredulity and alarm".

Queens former press secretary: If Prince Andrew thinks he's drawn a line in the sand over the Epstein saga, he's in cuckoo land

A number of businesses, charities and educational organisations are severing or reconsidering their ties with Prince Andrew.

BT said on Wednesday it will no longer work with a company that counts the Duke of York as a patron. The prince is reported to either be a patron of or have an official role at more than 200 charities, including two dozen which mainly work with children or young people.

Andrew’s entrepreneurial scheme Pitch@Palace faces an exodus of support from organisations seemingly fearing damage to their reputation if associated with the Queen’s second son.

Pitch@Palace, which hosts pitching events for small companies, has removed its webpage listing corporate supporters but companies have made public statements dissociating themselves from the organisation.

KPMG
The accountancy firm, a founding Pitch@Palace partner, said on Monday that its sponsorship contract had expired at the end of October and would not be renewed.

Standard Chartered
On Tuesday, the banking services company said it would not be renewing its sponsorship of Pitch@Palace – which claims to have generated more than 6,000 jobs – in December, citing “commercial reasons”.

English National Ballet
The company was asked to confirm whether Andrew would remain as patron after reports that senior figures within the institution were lobbying for him to be removed. A spokesperson said trusts were discussing the matter.

Aon
Insurance company Aon asked for its logo to be removed from the PitchPalace website, saying it had never been involved in the scheme in any capacity.

Advertising Week Europe
The organisation, another supporter of Pitch@Palace, was reported to not be inviting it to be part of its annual conference in March.

Huddersfield University
A student panel has passed a motion to lobby the duke to resign as its chancellor. It read: “We as students at the University of Huddersfield and members of Huddersfield students’ union should not be represented by a man with ties to organised child sexual exploitation and assault.”

However, a spokesman for the university defended Andrew, saying his “enthusiasm for innovation entrepreneurship is a natural fit with the work of the university” and citing his “emphatic” denial of the allegations.

Murdoch University
The university in Perth, Australia, announced on Wednesday it had advised Buckingham Palace it would no longer participate in Pitch@Palace from next year.

“We remain committed to supporting innovators and entrepreneurs,” a spokesman said. “However, in the current circumstances we have decided that our efforts in this area are best served through other means.”

Bond University
Another Australian university, in the Gold Coast of Queensland, has said that although it was preparing to consider working again with Pitch@Palace in 2020, “in light of recent events, the university does not intend to seek any further involvement”.

RMIT University
The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia ended its involvement with Pitch@Palace in October and said it was committed to ensuring its campus remains “a safe and inclusive place to work and study”.

Inmarsat
The telecommunications company is also reported to not be renewing its sponsorship of Pitch@Palace.

The tech company, a supporter of Pitch@Palace, is another reported to be no longer working with the initiative.

A number of other organisations are reviewing their links with Pitch@Palace, though some are understood to be continuing to support it.

London Metropolitan University is to review Andrew’s role as patron at a board of governors meeting next week. “The university opposes all forms of discrimination, abuse, human trafficking and any activity that is contrary to the university’s values,” it added.

The University of Wollongong in Australia has said it is “currently undertaking an annual review of its future involvement in Pitch@Palace”.

The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca’s three-year partnership with Pitch@Palace is due to expire at the end of this year and is being reviewed.

The educational charity Outward Bound Trust, which has a long association with the royal family, is holding a board meeting this week to discuss whether Andrew should remain in the role. The duke succeeded his father as patron this year. Prince Philip had had a 65-year relationship with the charity.

Hult International Business School will complete its involvement in the current Pitch@Palace event in early December, but it is reviewing its future involvement.

The Jubilee Sailing Trust, a charity encouraging people with disabilities to sail, will be discussing Andrew’s role as patron at a meeting of trustees next month.

The Stelios Philanthropic Foundation, founded by easyJet’s Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is understood to be continuing its support for Pitch@Palace for the time being.

Barclays Bank has recently renewed its sponsorship of the initiative, but is understood to be keeping a close eye on the situation.

Cisco, the IT multinational, said it ended its involvement with Pitch@Palace in June 2019.

I always get the impression that he’s just not very bright and yet he piloted helicopters which suggests he’s very intelligent

He has basically been sacked, no doubt he will next appear as a chat show host or something similar.
