The backlash is in full flow now and it's beginning to reflect on the Royal family at large.
THE BBC’s royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell has revealed that the Queen appears to have “lost central control” of Buckingham Palace. He made the claim after Prince Andrew’s Newsnight interview last night and the massive critical backlash.Royal expert Mr Witchell made the claim following the intense backlash to Prince Andrew’s interview with Emily Maitliss. Witchell told BBC News that interview was proof that the broader situation in Buckingham Palace unravelling. The BBC’s royal commentator said: “They would have advised, if their advice was sought, not to do it. The Queen was informed but she is 93 years old now, and she is not exercising the strong control she had, if she ever did.
Witchell agreed with ex-Buckingham Palace press officer Dickie Arbiter that Prince Andrew "bulldozed his way" into the BBC interview.
Mr Arbiter queried why the prince decided to answer questions about his links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.For several months the Duke of York had been facing questions over his ties to Epstein, a 66-year-old US financier who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Mr Arbiter described the interview as "excruciating".
He said: "They will be wondering: was this the right decision? Was the right decision made? Who made the decision to put him on? Did he make it himself or did he seek advice within the palace? "My guess is that he bulldozed his way in and decided he was going to do it himself without any advice.
"Any sensible-thinking person in the PR business would have thrown their hands up in horror at the very suggestion that he puts himself up in front of a television camera to explain away his actions and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein."

I was wondering why they would have let him give that interview.
That was a complete disaster, he's a terrible liar, everyone knows he's guilty now.
Piers Morgan is destroying him,lol

He's facing increasing demands to make a statement to the FBI.
His attempt to draw a line under the whole affair has backfired spectacularly.

That's where he could really get himself into trouble.
They better keep him away from American law enforcement, cause they are not going to go easy on him.
All his balderdash would fall to pieces under the scrutiny of the police.
"I don't sweat cuz I fought in the Falklands" lol. What a fuckin' buffoon.

Exactly, they won't show the deference that the BBC did.
He would just open himself up to charges of perjury.
I think he hoped that he could say ''look I've answered all the questions you have already in my TV interview''.
The interview has resulted in more questions than it has given answers.

He's fucking sweating now.
Of course, there are floods of pictures coming out of him leaving nightclubs with young women showing him sweating profusely.
For once Piers Morgan is right, he's treating us as mugs.

He's simply fanned the flames of outrage with this botched interview.
Now he's got the politicians calling for him to testify under oath.
Scotland Yard saying they are ready "to assist the FBI"
This is why HM has to throw him under the bus now.

His PR advisor resigned a couple of weeks ago after failing to persuade him not to take part in the interview.

This is going to make the ''annus horribilis'' look like a Buck house tea party in comparison.
Could be the death of her majesty.
There have always been rumours that Andrew is the Queen's favorite son.

This lays bare the great weakness of the Windsors, which has always been parenting or rather lack thereof.
George V set the standard and they've all followed it, which is that they basically ignore their children.
Both Charles and Andrew live in their own little worlds, raised by Nannies or whatever.
The only father Charles ever had was Mountbatten, till the PIRA whacked him.
Who raised Andrew is anyone's guess, he comes off like a sociopath.
This is what made Diana such an asset for them, she was the only real parent in the whole family.
