Whoever approved an interview at all is an idiot. The Prince and the Palace don't understand that the world has changed. They can't control the news anymore. The internet is here, and when you get one of them telling tall tales and showing no remorse for Epstein's victims, it's going to go very badly.

Nothing short of a royal death will allow Andrew to fall out of the news, maybe it's time for Phillip to do his duty to the family and die. Now would be a very convenient time to change the news cycle, stir up some sorrow and sympathy while they get Andy hidden on some private estate out of the reach of would be accusers and nosy reporters.
