    Only quote of significance i've seen so far before tonights programme is "I've no recollection of ever meeting this lady" (in reference to Virginia Roberts.

    So in answer to your question, I think this is a nice big PR stunt supported by the BBC.

    Considering they're marketing this as a "no holds barred" interview, I hope they would ask the following questions:

    1. Did you ever have sex with anyone, in or on, one of Jeffery Epstein's houses or properties?

    2. Did you ever participate in an orgy or session with multiple females in any of Epstein's properties?

    3. What did you do when you stayed in Epstein's properties?

    4. Can you prove that you were nowhere near the properties outlined by Virginia Roberts on the dates she has stated that you were there?

    5. Did you ever receive a massage of any kind in or on one of Epstein's properties planes or helicopters?




    The fact that he is taking the line "I have no recollection" is not saying he never met her- of course, there's that photo which essentially means that he can't deny totally ever meeting her, regardless of what his "friends" say about it being faked.

    To me, if he is indeed "randy Andy", then he's unlikely to remember all of his "conquests" through the years.

    I'm keeping an open mind though, as to whether a sexual encounter actually took place- there's no doubt that part of Epstein's methods was to ensnare powerful people, in whatever way he could. On the other hand, I don't see a reason for Virginia Roberts to lie. Her accusation that he participated in an orgy with young teens on Epstein's Island, you would think, should have brought forward additional women at this point- but it hasn't.

    I'll wait for the interview but I imagine the "body language" "experts" will be all over this- you can see him blinking rapidly just after when saying he doesn't recollect meeting her, so regardless of what he says, there will be many doubters.

    So will this interview be all about admitting everything and anything other than, what's been alleged in terms of his relationship with Virginia Roberts?

    If so, then the interview is a total white-wash- the olde "I'm this kind of bad person but not "that" kind of bad person" defence?

    We'll wait and see but it doesn't bode well- Christmas day in the Windsor household will be interesting- Eastenders will be less dramatic i'd say :P

    He's probably trying to claim he met her briefly for five minutes, posed for a photo with her but has no recollection of this meeting as it was so long ago.

    I laughed at the clip where he said he mistakenly stayed with Epstein after the conviction cos he "had a tendency to be too honourable" .

    you couldn't make that sh1t up

    He seems very shifty and fidgety when answering that question - his body language didn't match what he was saying.

    When Maitlis asked Andrew why he would stay at Epstein’s house after charges that he had sex with underage girls, the Duke said, “It was a convenient place to stay.”

    “There is … I mean I’ve gone through this in my mind so many times,” Andrew said. “At the end of the day, with a benefit of all the hindsight that one could have, it was definitely the wrong thing to do. But at the time I felt it was the honorable and right thing to do and I admit fully that my judgement was probably colored by my tendency to be too honorable, but that’s just the way it is.”
    Errrr what?

    He's admitted attending all of Epstein's properties.

    He's trying to align himself more with Maxwell than Epstein - which in itself is bad enough.

    Over the years I have read so many stories of sex abuse, paedophilia, child trafficking, etc among what are known as the elite, a terrible term if ever there was one.
    People often think these stories are far fetched conspiracy theories.
    The underlying response in me has been to doubt, to choose to remain at least partially detached, to be skeptical and wary of these stories even though the theme recurs. I have wondered why this is, given how common a tale they are. A person I read occasionally, Jasun Horsley, brother of the famous hedonist, writes about such matters. Sex abuse in high places. There is a researcher who writes about kakistocracy, the tendency among those in power to be the worst, to be inclined towards sexual depravity. Cannot recall his name. There is so much evidence for it, the Marc Dutroux case for example, credible stories about boys homes like Kincora in the North, a million horrid tales, and yet I think we, or perhaps it is just me, skirt around it or shy away from it because it really cracks open the world in a terrible way and potentially smashes residual hope in the honour and beauty of things at the root. It taints existence, this sordidness. These seedy bastards.
    I believe this man is an abuser.

    He dropped a terrible clanger when saying he didn't regret his relationship with Epstein - wrong answer (the man was a convicted paedophile and multiple abuser)

    His answer to whether or not she was lying was very revealing. He didn't say she was.

    This looks very bad for him.

    Even if the allegations were false... he is doing nothing to convince anyone otherwise with this interview. His answers just lead to more questions.

    The man has no cop on whatsoever. I think that holds true for most people in high society - completely out of touch with reality and no common sense. That's why they think nothing of engaging in acts like these allegations.

    Car crash of an interview. He hasn't got the skills or intelligence to lie his way out of it......if he was in court, no jury would believe him.

    It's fascinating viewing, but I wonder who thought this interview was a good idea.

    The royals should be looking for a new public relations firm first thing Monday morning.
