Celebrity lawyer Paul Tweed: 'If I had known Prince Andrew was going to do that interview, I could have been on a plane and dragged him out of it'

'I am not a feared lawyer,' he insists. 'I settle 99.99pc of my cases. Any that go to court - be it Barney Eastwood or Rosanna Davison - I regard it as a failure that I could not get another option for the client.'

Tweed discusses the nuance in defamation law, suggesting that it can sometimes feel like 'a bit of a game' where strategies and public perception play integral roles.

In reflecting on high-profile clients, Tweed explains how he could have guided Prince Andrew to manage his disastrous BBC interview far better, hinting at unutilized strategies that could have mitigated damage.

He expresses disappointment with traditional media, arguing that it no longer fits into his approach, suggesting a shift in how cases are handled in the current media landscape.
