Prince Andrew received support from his close pal over his infamous interview revolving around his connections with Jeffery Epstein.
As reported by The Telegraph, a lawyer and friend of the York family, Paul Tweed raised questions about Buckingham Palace’s silence when the Duke decided to appear on his “career-ending” Newsnight interview.
In his new book, From Holywood to Hollywood: My Life as an International Libel Lawyer to the Rich and Famous, the author pens how people close to Andrew, including his now ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, gave him the green light to sit down for the controversial conversation about his sex abuse case.
Speaking to the magazine, he said, “Hindsight is a wonderful thing.”
He added, “For all I know, Andrew may have been given the best advice and chosen to ignore it. My point is that the court of public opinion has far more of an impact than the court of law.”
Paul added, “For Prince Andrew to expose himself to unrestricted cross-examination by a very experienced interviewer, who would have undertaken extensive research and prepared questions well in advance, could not possibly offer any upside in any circumstance to anyone.”
Andrew’s pal went on to assert that it was possibly a blunder on the Palace’s part as they greenlit the interview.
Notably, no comments have been made by the Palace’s officials on Paul’s recent claims.
