YesEvery time royalty deals with the BBC, someone ends up getting fired. “I didn't think it would be him,” explained Emily Maitlis, the BBC journalist in charge of the interview that put Prince Andrew in check in 2019. The man, whom many English people considered 'the hero of the Malvinas' for his participation in the 1982 war, he made a 'little' mess when explaining his relationship with Virginia Giuffre, the young woman who had accused him of raping her when she was 17 years old.
Giuffre had stated that the abuses had been committed within the sex trafficking network promoted by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. But, from the outset, the Duke of York denied it. He didn't know her at all. Epstein did, and he described his behavior as 'inappropriate'. The reaction was immediate. It is inappropriate to eat the bread of the diner next door, rape is a crime, the media and social networks seemed to chant. Then a photo of the duke with the girl appeared and… checkmate: he had to renounce all charges against him.
The best description of what happened during that interview was given by The Telegraph, which called it “the hour of television that changed everything.” And he added: “what a priori seemed like a bad decision, equivalent to a car accident that you can't stop looking at, due to the prince's attitude turned out to be like a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami and triggering an explosion.” nuclear”.
