Prince Andrew gives an awkward interview

Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in an awkward television moment in 2019, being interviewed about his relationship to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew's interview with the BBC was called "disastrous" by The New York Times. A few days later, Andrew agreed to "step back from public duties." In 2022 he was stripped of his military titles and use of the title "His Royal Highness," and then agreed to a multi-million dollar legal settlement with a woman who had accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager. Prince Andrew was born in 1960, so he turned 59 the year this interview took place.
