52:05Now PlayingSome stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. In 2019, former Prince Andrew sat down with the BBC to clear his name, but what followed is considered to be one of the most catastrophic interviews in the history of the British monarchy. The interview created more questions than answers. Andrew faced a firestorm that ended his public-facing role in the royal family, lost his military titles and triggered a multimillion-dollar settlement with one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers.
This week, Medick speaks with Sam McAlister, the former BBC Newsnight producer who negotiated and booked the interview. McAlister takes Medick inside the room: how she convinced the prince to sit down, the private pre-interview conversation where he first revealed his "I don't sweat" defense and the moment on camera she knew the interview had gone catastrophically off the rails. They break down his responses to Virginia Giuffre's allegations, the infamous photo he claims may be fake, and whether any real accountability has followed.
