Former Newsnight host Emily Maitlis has expressed satisfaction with the Metropolitan Police’s investigation into allegations that Prince Andrew sought police assistance to discredit his sexual assault accuser. Maitlis believes Andrew’s downfall was inevitable after her 2019 BBC interview with him.

An Amazon series referencing the controversial interview suggests that Andrew posed uncomfortable questions to Maitlis before the official interview. The series, A Very Royal Scandal, portrays Andrew addressing his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and providing peculiar explanations during the interview.

Maitlis, an executive producer for the series, depicted Andrew questioning her and other Newsnight personnel about abuse experiences to ascertain their impartiality. The show features a scene where Andrew asks if anyone has been a victim of abuse, prompting varied responses from the characters.

Following increased scrutiny of his association with Epstein, Prince Andrew renounced his royal titles and honors. He denies allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual misconduct. The Met Police is now investigating claims that Andrew tried to discredit Giuffre by providing her confidential information.

In an interview with Victoria Derbyshire, Maitlis expressed a desire for justice if anyone made Giuffre’s life more difficult. She also scrutinized Andrew’s emails to Epstein, suggesting that there may be more to investigate from their interactions.

Reflecting on Andrew giving up his title, Maitlis highlighted the gradual process leading to this point and emphasized that it was a long time coming. The palace’s decision was seemingly inevitable after the aftermath of the interview.
