"I think we know now that [Prince Andrew] lied to me about his contact with Epstein," the broadcaster Emily Maitlis said this weekend, after the revelation Prince Andrew emailed sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2011.

In a 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Maitlis, Andrew said he had severed links with Epstein in December 2010 after the two men were pictured strolling together in New York.

But details of an email published last week revealed he had in fact told Epstein in February 2011 that “we are in this together”. The email was sent the day after an infamous photograph emerged of him pictured with Virginia Giuffre. The email ends with the line: “We'll play some more soon!!!!”
