A Very Royal Scandal exposes sick question Prince Andrew asked Emily Maitlis before their interview
‘And it was a very complicated moment for us because, on the one hand, I knew that if he included some of the stuff that he wanted to talk about, for example the sweating and the Pizza Express alibi, it was not going to help his case, in fact, it was actually going to make it look worse.’
Emily added: ‘I felt kind of a responsibility to not let him walk into that, but on the other hand, I also felt a responsibility to include the things that he had said were important to him to say.’
The News Agents presenter went on to reveal how it was more difficult to get interviews afterwards as it scared people off.
‘It’s a curious thing actually, on the one hand, you’d think it might make it really easy to get people to do interviews with you because they’ve seen your interview and they’ve heard of you, ‘ she said.
‘And on the other hand, nobody wants to do an interview with you because they’ve seen your interview and they’ve heard of you!
‘So, I think it’s slightly double-edged. Some people come towards you, and some run a mile.’
