The Queen gave Prince Andrew permission to be quizzed on his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, TV presenter Emily Maitlis claims.
The Duke of York came under scrutiny after his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview in 2019 over allegations that Epstein
victim Virginia Giuffre, then aged 17, was trafficked to have sex with the royal.
In a new two-part Channel 4 documentary, Andrew – The Problem Prince, to air around the time of the Coronation, ex-BBC journalist Ms Maitlis also said the negative implications of the interview “dawned” on the Queen “before they did on him”.
