Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal: The Newsnight Interview

Video    BBC News    17 November 2019

In a Newsnight special,

Emily Maitlis interviews the Duke of York as he speaks for the first time

about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

and allegations which have been made against him over his own conduct.

The Duke of York speaks to Emily Maitlis

about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him.

In a world exclusive interview,

Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis speaks to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York

at Buckingham Palace.

For the first time,

the Duke addresses in his own words

the details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,

who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

In 2015,

Prince Andrew was named in court papers

as part of a US civil case against Epstein.

The Prince, who is the Queen’s third child,

also answers questions about the allegations

made against him by one of Epstein’s victims,

and discusses the impact of the scandal on the Royal family and his work.
