Prince Andrew 'bulldozed' his way into BBC Newsnight interview
A lawyer for Epstein's accusers urged the prince to talk to US authorities.
The prince's decision to speak so candidly about his relationship with Epstein - who died in prison after he was charged with sex trafficking - and answer allegations about sex with a teenage girl was questioned by a number of royal experts.Media captionFor 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.
Prince Andrew"categorically" denied having an sexual contact with Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions when she was a teenager.Asked about the prince's decision to be interviewed by BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis, Mr Arbiter said he thought a lot of questions would be asked in Buckingham Palace.
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?
