BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis said that she knew the Prince Andrew interview in November was "explosive" within minutes of the interview beginning.
She told the Radio Times that not only was the Prince "tackling the subject matter head on", but also "the level of detail was unlike anything I was expecting".
She added: "The lack of apology or any real expression of regret told me that the Prince still believed that his actions had broadly been the right ones."
On Friday, a new Jeffrey Epstein accuser came forward to say the paedophile took her virginity and raped her in 2015, according to The Daily Mail.
“Marie”, now 22, is believed to be one of the youngest women to come forward to claim compensation from his estate.

    'IF SHE KEEPS QUIET, TRUMP COULD GIVE HER A FAVOUR'
    Anthony Scaramucci has spoken out after Trump said he 'wished Maxwell well'.
    In a tweet, he said: “She has the goods on him.
    “He is signaling ‘please don’t talk.’”
    Scaramucci has previously pedalled conspiracy theories that paedophile Epstein was murdered in his New York City prison cell, reports say.
    But a top prosecutor told The Sun that Trump's “insane” well-wishes to Epstein's ex-girlfriend could be a coded message.
    “I think Trump speaking out wishing well a sexual predator is scary to say the least, but possibly shows Trump's potential willingness to, for nothing else, send a message to her that if she keeps quiet, that he may give her a favour in the future, which may include pardon,” said Spencer Kuvin, who represents several victims of Epstein.

    'MAXWELL HAS THE GOODS ON TRUMP'
    Anthony Scaramucci claimed Ghislaine Maxwell “has the goods” on Donald Trump and he's terrified she'll “talk.”
    Scaramucci, Trump's Communications Director for 10 days in 2017, speculated that the President's well-wishes for Maxwell was a front.
    It comes after Trump said of Maxwell at a press conference: “I just wish her well frankly.
    “I have met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach and they lived in Palm Beach, but I wish her well.”

    FINANCES UNDER A SPOTLIGHT AFTER BAIL IS DENIED
    Maxwell's finances have come under scrutiny after she was denied bail earlier this week.
    Lawyers argued her "opaque" finances meant she was a flight risk – with it being unclear “how many millions of dollars she has“.
    She apparently kept $10million with JPMorgan, the same bank known to be used by Epstein, who kept part of his vast fortune – estimated to be around $559million – with them until at least 2013.
    Compliance officers reportedly recommended that the bank dump him in 2009 after he was first convicted of sex crimes.
    JPMorgan asset management chief Mary Callahan Erdoes is claimed to have overruled them to keep Epstein.

    MAXWELL 'HAD $10M AT EPSTEIN BANK'
    Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly hid at least $10million in accounts at JPMorgan Chase – the same bank that was warned about its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
    The New York-based bank was reportedly warned by compliance officers in 2008 that its dealings with the shamed financier could damage its reputation.
    Maxwell is said to have stashed cash with the bank which was then handled by a team of several dozen managers and advisers, reports Bloomberg.
    She reportedly had money in accounts at JPMorgan until at least 2015, the same year she faced civil litigation over her links to Epstein.

    EPSTEIN 'WANTED THREE GIRLS A DAY'
    Ghislaine Maxwell procured three girls a day for paedo financier Jeffery Epstein, according to new shocking allegations.
    Accuser Annie Farmer claims the socialite, now 58, oversaw the sex-trafficking operation for years.
    The allegations were revealed after Ms Farmer waived her right for anonymity.
    She says she was “lavished” with gifts by the super-rich couple, who she alleges attempted to ensnare her into their sex trafficking ring.
    The psychologist, now 41, also claims she was ordered to strip naked and groped by Maxwell in 1996, when she was aged just 16, reports The Sunday Times.
    In a six-count indictment against Maxwell, Ms Farmer is identified as “minor number two”.

    'THE RICH AND MIGHTY CAN FALL TOO' SAYS ALLEGED VICTIM
    Prince Andrew should be panicking about Maxwell “squealing”, Jeffrey Epstein's victim Virginia Roberts has alleged.
    Ms Roberts told CBS This Morning that the Prince needed to be “held accountable” to “show the world that the rich and the mighty can fall too.”
    Ms Roberts, 36, alleges Epstein used her as a sex slave and forced her to sleep with the Duke of York three times in 2001 when she was 17.
    Prince Andrew has always strongly denied the allegations against him.
    And Roberts also said she believes Maxwell's life is in danger as she was reportedly “squealing” on “some of the people that she has videos on”.
    Ms Roberts refused to give names on who may have featured in the videos – but alluded to “government officials”, “politicians” and “royalty”.

    'SECRECY FAVOURS PREDATORS'
    Prince Andrew has reportedly been told he should be 'very concerned' after a judge said documents on Maxwell could be unsealed, as reported in the last blog post.
    Lisa Bloom, who is representing some of Epstein's victims, told the Daily Mirror: “Unsealing of the Maxwell documents is a positive step. Secrecy favours predators. Transparency helps victims.
    “Anyone who was associated with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell should be very concerned.
    “In particular, Prince Andrew should get ahead of this by cooperating with investigators as he promised to do months ago.”
    The documents formed part of a defamation lawsuit brought against Maxwell in 2015 by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts.

    The former socialite wanted to prevent the release of papers from a 2015 lawsuit related to her sex life and relationship with Epstein and his associates.
    But Judge Loretta Preska yesterday ruled they should be unsealed within a week and Maxwell's lawyers now have seven days to launch an emergency appeal.

    'SHE IS ACCUSED OF AIDING THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN'
    Baroness Karren Brady shared her thoughts on Maxwell after the socialite was denied bail earlier this week.
    Writing in The Sun, the Baroness said: “A first step towards potential justice seems to have been taken when Maxwell was denied bail and deemed an “extreme flight risk”.
    “And, given that Epstein managed to evade justice by killing himself in prison, I’m sure we all breathed a sigh of relief when the news broke that Maxwell would not be able to flee the country and avoid a fair trial.”
    She added: “There are many disturbing things about this story but most worrying of all is how much Maxwell’s alleged behaviour challenges our assumption that, when the chips are down, women will help other women — and children. Instead, she is accused of aiding their abuse and ill-treatment.”

    OLD FRIENDS THOUGHT OF MAXWELL AS 'WARM AND VIVACIOUS'
    Good morning.
    Some of Maxwell's oldest friends recall her as “vivacious”, “warm” and “effusive”.
    The Brit socialite is facing allegations that she provided underage girls for former lover Jeffrey Epstein to abuse.
    Before the accusations were made, a Vanity Fair article about her described her Filofax as 'more packed than Rupert Murdoch's'.
    The reporter described her as 'a much sought after guest at any elite social event worth attending'.
    Maxwell is known to have rubbed elbows with presidents, major celebs, royalty and business leaders like Trump, Clinton and Prince Andrew.

    EPSTEIN 'WAS ABUSING GIRLS RIGHT UP TO HIS DEATH', CLAIMS RAPE SURVIVOR
    A Jeffrey Epstein rape survivor believes the warped financier was still abusing girls right up until he was jailed and hanged himself.
    The former model claimed this will leave behind a “second wave” of younger victims too afraid to even tell their parents.
    The woman who was speaking to DailyMail.com says she was raped and molested during two visits to Epstein's mansion in New York, in the summer of 2015.
    She said: “I believe he was abusing young girls right up until the day he was arrested.
    “There are likely to be multiple young victims out there who are still in their teens, perhaps still living with their parents and too ashamed and confused to speak out.
    “I know how it feels because I was one of them. I thought about suicide, I tried to cut my wrists. These girls need support before it's too late. 
    “They need to know it's OK to tell their stories.”

    SCOTT BORGERSON'S FAMILY 'TRAUMATISED' AMID MAXWELL MARRIAGE RUMORS
    Scott Borgerson's family say they are “traumatised” after being caught up in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal – and don't believe “pimp” Ghislaine Maxwell is married to the millionaire, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
    The tech CEO allegedly left his wife Rebecca for the disgraced socialite, and the pair started a new life together, even buying a $2.4million love nest in Manchester-by-the-Sea, before she secretly relocated to New Hampshire.
    Attorney Alison Moe, one of three prosecutors on the high profile case after Maxwell was busted on sex trafficking offences, told a detention hearing this month she is refusing to reveal the identity of her spouse, while Borgerson, 44, is believed to be her husband.
    Now, a family member has told The Sun they do not believe they are married, but say they are devastated by the impact their 'relationship' has caused — as it continues to make headlines around the world.
    The relative, who wished not to be named, blasted: “My family is already traumatized. This is never something I would wish on a family. They never married, they don't believe in marriage.”
    Asked if the pair could have tied the knot in secret to protect Maxwell's fortune, they replied: “I don't know, I just know what I'm told.”

    Farmer described how Maxwell would behave like a “cool sister” as part of the process of grooming them for Epstein.
    “[Maxwell] made you feel special and safe,” she told the Mail.
    “[She] would just dote on you — make you’d feel like you’d won the lottery.”

    SECRETS OF MAXWELL'S SEX LIFE MAY BE MADE PUBLIC
    A judge ruled this week that explosive testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell and letters between her and Jeffrey Epstein can be made public.
    The socialite, 58, currently in jail on child grooming charges, had been fighting to keep bombshell documents that include details about her sex life secret.
    She was sued for defamation in 2015 by Prince Andrew’s sex accuser Virginia Roberts, but thousands of pages of the case remain sealed.
    However, New York judge Loretta Preska ruled that any concerns of “minor embarrassment or annoyance” to Maxwell were far outweighed by the need for public access.
    She ordered the release of dozens of documents in the case “within a week”. Maxwell has seven days to appeal.
    The documents include portions of Maxwell’s 2016 seven-hour, 418-page deposition and January 2015 correspondence between her and her billionaire paedo ex Epstein, the court heard.

    GHISLAINE MAXWELL 'HAS THE GOODS' ON TRUMP, EX PR CHIEF CLAIMS
    Anthony Scaramucci claimed Ghislaine Maxwell “has the goods” on Donald Trump and he's terrified she'll “talk.”

    “She has the goods on him,” Scaramucci tweeted on Tuesday. “He is signaling ‘please don’t talk.’”
    His comments came after Trump was asked if he thought the British socialite would turn in powerful men – and he “wished her well.”
    “I haven't really been following it [Maxwell's case] too much,” Trump told journalists during the July 21 press briefing. “I just wish her well, frankly.
    “I've met her numerous times over the years – especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well.”

    MAXWELL 'BOASTED OF FRIENDSHIP WITH AMAZON'S BEZOS'
    Ghislaine Maxwell would brag and claim she had connections to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at parties, insiders have claimed.
    The British socialite – who is in jail over her alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein – is said to have run in the same circles as billionaire Bezos and ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
    Maxwell would reportedly name-drop the Amazon and Google billionaires when trying to get donors for her environmental project TerraMar.
    Insiders who spoke to Maxwell, 58, about her former charity told The Daily Beast that she also mentioned British billionaire Sir Richard Branson.
    Maxwell is even said to have been invited to Bezos' ultra-exclusive book retreat, known as Campfire, in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2018.
    There is no suggestion of any improper behaviour of any of the men she is claimed to have known, and it is unclear if she even knew them.
    One acquaintance said: “She bragged about knowing Jeff Bezos well a few times as I remember.
    “All I remember is that she knew Bezos well.”
    Bezos, 56, the world’s richest man with a net worth of $178billion, has not commented on his alleged ties to Maxwell.
