And GMB hostPiers Morganblasted the interview that saw the 59 – year -old royal claim he had “no recollection” ofVirginia Roberts, and did not notice young women at Epstein’s home because staff members walk around “all the time” at Royal pal aces.
Royal experts were dumbstruck by the prince’s decision to appear on the BBC to discuss his relationship with paedophile billionaire palJeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in August.
And Morgan likewise slammed: “This wasn’t a train wreck, it was a multiple pile up of every steam engine on the planet.
“The problem is he kept mentioning he was a military hero and he doesn’t sweat.
“Pictures of sweating come out … All those little, tiny, tiny things.
“Stop treating us like complete idiots and there are endless pictures of him hugging blondes outside nightclubs.”
Discussing the interview this morning, he warned: “He’s taking us for mugs.”
DUKE OF HAZARD
It comes afterPrince Andrewreportedlytold the Queen the disastrous TV interview was a “great success”.
He was “buoyant” as he attended church with his mum despite the furious backlash which has put his official role under threat and plunged the Royal Family into its biggest crisis in years.
But Morgan was among those to criticize the interview – saying the royal shouldn’t have done the sit down.
He said: “This is why you shouldn’t have done it.
“(It was) embarrassing and toe curling. I don’t know if he is guilty. I don’t know that yet, maybe we’ll never find out.”
