Emily Maitlis reveals Prince Andrew's request after filming Newsnight interview
Briefly

Emily Maitlis recalled the troubling moment during her interview with Prince Andrew when he wanted to elaborate on his Pizza Express alibi, stating, 'He wanted to talk about the fact that he'd been at Pizza Express on the night in question. It was a very complicated moment for us because, on the one hand, I knew that if he included some of the stuff that he wanted to talk about, it was actually going to make it look worse.' This showcased the disarray in Andrew's public relations strategy and ultimately harmed his reputation.
Reflecting on the interview's aftermath, Maitlis remarked, 'The BBC interview caused huge damage to Andrew's reputation, and just days later he announced he would be stepping back from royal duties.' This highlights the significant repercussions that the interview had on Andrew's royal standing and image.
