Former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis has suggested that Prince Andrew may have only agreed to do his car crash Newsnight interview to help his daughter Princess Beatrice.
The newsnight presenter, who grilled the Duke of York during the now infamously disastrous sit down chat, was involved in discussions with Andrew, his eldest daughter and Sam McAlister prior to the interview.
Sharing her thoughts, Ms Maitlis said that he may have been thinking of his daughter - who had recently become engaged to her now-husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi - when he agreed to the interview.
