Prince Andrew has been facing questions for several months over his ties to Epstein, a 66-year-old American financier who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
In 2010, the prince was photographed walking with Epstein in New York's Central Park - two years after Epstein's first conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Footage published by the Mail on Sunday showed the prince in Epstein's Manhattan mansion around the same time.
Addressing his decision to stay with Epstein following the American's first conviction, Prince Andrew said: "That's the bit that… as it were, I kick myself for on a daily basis because it was not something that was becoming of a member of the Royal Family and we try and uphold the highest standards and practices and I let the side down, simple as that."
In 2015, Prince Andrew was named in court papers as part of a US civil case against Epstein.
One of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Roberts - now Virginia Giuffre - said she was forced to have sex with the prince three times between 1999 - when she was 17 - and 2002, in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.
At the time she was under-age according to Florida state law.
In the BBC interview, Emily Maitlis asks the prince about Ms Giuffre's claims that in 2001, she had dined with him, danced with him at a nightclub, and went on to have sex with him at the house of a friend of the prince in Belgravia, central London.
The prince replied: "I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever."
When asked once more whether he remembered meeting Ms Giuffre, the prince said: "No."

Yep. That’s what I meant by shaping the narrative. He’s setting the stage just in case. Personally, I hope it all comes out. Truth has suffered in silence long enough.
“The prince replied: “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”
They weren’t formally introduced before he ****** her.

Modified limited hangout.
Interesting timing...
And she was a child, so technically no “lady,” if he’s parsing it.
I think he let down more than the side...the front, back, the zipper too, not to mention some little girls’ knickers.
Who is “a 66-year-old American financier who took his own life”? Very confusing.
His nickname was Randy Andy for a reason.
Jerk. Or, as they say in your native language, wanker.
Anyone who believes Epstein took his own life, call me. I have vacation land and timeshares I'm willing to let go...real reasonable...
Call me.
Hey Andy, did you murder Epstein yourself, or did you hire it done?
Maybe whoever murdered Princess Di had a hand in Epstein’s murder.
Playing w/fire, and all.
Yes.....
I noticed that they brought up that moron Furman to state that Epstein suicided himself ... Furman rings a bell as being a discredited policeman that committed perjury.
The other RF developments are at the very least amusing and intriguing...
This however is just flat out *cringe* !
Andrew hasn’t exactly been the brightest bulb in any social setting let alone do a public interview about his denied nefarious sexual flings....He looked and sounded like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar being grilled by his mother.
I saw that in the DailyMail, but just couldn't bring myself to read it!
