Disaster?
UK papers and commentators are declaring this interview to be a disaster. Prince Andrew failed to redeem himself and his soiled image from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The only thing the prince regretted was seeing Epstein in 2010. The interview failed to put out the firestorm around the prince, and it perhaps drew him in more deeply. The question now is what the royal family will do about it, other than nothing. Queen Elizabeth's brood has not been scandal-free over the decades, beginning with her sister, Margaret. They are fodder for the UK news media. Knowing that, one might expect the children to be extra careful with whom they associate. That doesn't appear to be the case. The scandal will be kept flaming for weeks to come and the queen will have to suffer the indignity. At her age, she doesn't need this, but that makes no difference.
