Royal experts and others queried his decision to talk about his links with convicted sex offender JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
The Duke of York also denied having sex on three separate occasions with a then 17-year-old girl – VIRGINIA GIUFFRE.
A lawyer for some of EPSTEIN’s alleged victims urged the prince to talk under oath to the US authorities.
Former Buckingham Palace press officer DICKIE ARBITER described the interview as excruciating.
