Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson says she was 'quite dismayed' watching Prince Andrew's interview

The Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson said she thought Prince Andrew's interview was "clearly not" wise and that at times she felt uncomfortable watching it.

Referring to a BBC interview with Prince Andrew where the Royal explained his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein since the financier took his own life behind bars earlier this year.

The politician said the part she found hard to watch was the "victims in this affair are those young women and girls, some of whom are now much older, who had been sexually abused, trafficked by Epstein."

She said for somebody to be talking about that traumatic experience "without reaching out" to understand the victim's pain, she thought was "strange to see."
