Emily Maitlis, the journalist behind Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 Newsnight interview, commented on the lasting repercussions of the conversation, noting that Andrew lost significant respect and his royal duties as a result. She emphasized that while the interview was damaging to Andrew's reputation, it did not provide closure for Jeffrey Epstein's victims, indicating there is 'unfinished business'. Maitlis revealed that after the interview, Andrew expressed a desire to discuss his alibi related to the 'Pizza Express' incident, but she believed it would not help his case. The interview and its fallout have led to reports that King Charles is losing patience with Andrew's continued residence in the lavish Royal Lodge. Andrew has since paid a financial settlement to Virginia Giuffre, settling a civil case without admitting wrongdoing. The saga continues to resonate as it has been adapted into a new drama titled 'A Very Royal Scandal'.
