Prince Andrew’s Epstein interview roundly panned: ‘nuclear explosion level bad’

Washington Post

Mark Borkowski, a public relations and crisis consultant, told The Washington Post that if asked, he would have advised the prince to “100 percent absolutely not” do the interview: “There was absolutely no reason for him to take such a leap of faith.”

Rather than snuff out the scandal, Borkowski said, the interview “pumped oxygen” into it. He said some of Andrew’s language was “unforgivable,” as was the lack of empathy for Epstein’s victims.

He also said some of Andrew’s answers probably wouldn’t wash with the public.

“How do you spend four days in America killing a friendship?” Borkowski said. “Everybody has fallen out with a friend. Do they spend four days in a luxury flat?

“This is what you have to think about when you are preparing people for interviews: Does it pass the common-sense test? And it doesn’t.”
