New excruciating details about Andrew's car crash Newsnight interview…

They live in a bubble. They hear the noises from outside but nothing really affects them. They think it's a one way valve of influence - theirs on us.Interesting to read the background story of how the interview came about. Clearly it wasn’t solely Andrew’s lack of judgement, but that his support crew was also detached from reality. I wonder why the Queen apparently gave her blessing to it going ahead? Hasn’t she always been in favour of saying the least possible, to avoid controversy?
I would have expected Beatrice, as a young person, to be a bit more clued up, or at least more connected with modern society but maybe not.

Never complain, never explain.I wonder why the Queen apparently gave her blessing to it going ahead? Hasn’t she always been in favour of saying the least possible, to avoid controversy?
Exemplary, possibly. Wise, though, it was not.Surely the fact that no lawyers etc were present is evidence that the monarchy is a transparent and open institution which doesn't want to conceal information from its subjects. Disappointing that people are condemning them for allowing Prince Andrew just to answer the questions as he saw fit and then face the consequences. That's hardly arrogance - in fact it's exemplary.
if the monarchy do not wish to conceal information from its subjects then all they need do is advertise on their websites their dealings with ministers concerning representations made by the crown about legislation which may affect the foul windsor clan. they can add their archives to the national archives, to be consulted by anyone who desires to. they can reveal the queen's wealth, her investments, her private income. and the same for charles and anne and edward and the unspeakable nonce, and on and on.Surely the fact that no lawyers etc were present is evidence that the monarchy is a transparent and open institution which doesn't want to conceal information from its subjects.

I expect they would like to do all of this but don't because they know that hot heads on forums like this would start saying they were incompetent and so on. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.if the monarchy do not wish to conceal information from its subjects then all they need do is advertise on their websites their dealings with ministers concerning representations made by the crown about legislation which may affect the foul windsor clan. they can add their archives to the national archives, to be consulted by anyone who desires to. they can reveal the queen's wealth, her investments, her private income. and the same for charles and anne and edward and the unspeakable nonce, and on and on.
I wouldn't start saying they're incompetent. We've known that for a long long timeI expect they would like to do all of this but don't because they know that hot heads on forums like this would start saying they were incompetent and so on. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

It sounds like the urban75 postership has more expertise and experience in successfully covering up the misdemeanours of the super wealthy than the royal family does.Incompetent?! Conducting a potentially career ending interview with a famously brilliant interviewer without any outside media training/question vetting assistance? as it happens i work for a company that does exactly that and as the producer said, no CEO would agree to doing that without a team of people watching, coaching beforehand etc. This idiot had his 'equerry' there manning the bar laughing about the family movie night later and his dim-witted daughter negotiating the terms.
Bonkers. But couldn't happen to a nicer chap.
No, I think we're just mostly suspicious and can spot a cover up a mile away.It sounds like the urban75 postership has more expertise and experience in successfully covering up the misdemeanours of the super wealthy than the royal family does.
Kind of makes you stop and think about things.
Very telling that you assume I don't already have one.
