I clearly remember my disbelief and jaw-dropping amazement as I read a transcript of Prince Andrew’s car crash Newsnight interview nearly six years ago. I was in New Zealand, on tour with the then Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and the interview was yet to be broadcast.
When it did, due to the time difference with the UK, Prince Charles was, I’m told, on the phone through the night to the late Queen, her private secretary and Prince William discussing how to deal with the disastrous fallout.
