Prince Andrew’s recent interview has revived discussions about Princess Diana’s death and the royal family as a whole.

During a recent interview, Prime Minister Tony Blair’s former spokesman Alastair Campbell said that Buckingham Palace doesn’t have a great communications machine, and he realized this after Princess Diana passed away.

Over two decades ago, Earl Arlie, the head of the royal household, contacted Blair to ask for a bit of help. Campbell said that he soon understood that the palace and the royal family are not a team even though the public thinks that they are operating as one.

“I suspect there will be people within the royal institutions who are looking in and something of them will be thinking ‘Andrew’s ballsed it up.’ We were struck by on the very day Princess Diana died, the head of the royal household, Earl Airlie, directly approached Tony Blair and said ‘this is something we don’t really get in terms of the public impact, we’re going to need a bit of help,’” Campbell said.

Meanwhile, the former spokesman talked about Prince Andrew’s interview and said that he wants to know who the Duke of York talked to and how he prepared for it. If Prince Andrew would tell him that he wanted to do the interview then it means that he was badly advised.

While speaking with BBC’s Emily Maitlis, Prince Andrew said that there was no indication that Jeffrey Epstein was engaging in any form of sexual abuse. He said that whenever he would hang out with him, they didn’t also engage in anything questionable.

Prince Andrew also vehemently denied having sex with underage girls during his interview.

“No, and without putting too fine a point on it, if you’re a man it is a positive act to have sex with somebody. You have to have to take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it’s very difficult to try and forget a positive action and I do not remember anything,” he said.
