HAVING to endure a squirm-inducing inquisition from BBCs Emily Maitlis INSIDE Buckingham Palace is an acknowledgement that these are indeed desperate times for Randy Andy.
There is zero doubt that the Duke of York is fighting to save his battered reputation.

This could be the most consequential royal interview since Princess Diana on Panorama in 1995 but the early indication is he hasnt done quite enough.
Saying of accuser Virginia Roberts that he has no recollection of ever meeting this lady is hardly a full throttled denial of sex.
He is clearly penitent about his decision to visit Jeffrey Epstein AFTER his conviction. But can he explain maintaining any sort of relationship with a known paedophile?

Why not help in the US civil court cases? And what about further co-operation with the police?
This is the second disastrous royal TV interview in a month, following Harry and Meghans woe-is-me Africa documentary.

But hes right about one thing he let the side down in a mortifying manner.
Even the Queen must be disappointed in her favourite son.
Claiming that he has ‘no recollection’ of meeting Virginia Roberts is hardly a full throttled denial of sex
