As soon as andrew started talking about his biggest fault was his nobility…the fact that she didn’t bust out laughing her ass off that alone should be award worthy.

Andrew left the interview with the idea that he did a great job. That’s how good an interview his was.

[s.annehancock]

What a class act. Giving so much credit and love to the entire team. “We did it…”

[kazbah]

She executed that interview perfectly and extracted the gold we were looking for. Thank you Emily 💜

[XENUGOLFCLUB]

This was the gold standard of interviewing. Polite, respectful, factual and well researched. Its a shame BBC interviews aren’t all like that

[dmuir]

The essentials: meticulous research; finely judged details;
Cool, calm & thoroughly professionally timed. She’s terrific.

She is very clever, extremely attractive and a professional. Unfortunately, Prince Andrew was clearly expecting Emily to be intimidated by his position in the Royal Family . There was never doubt as to the outcome. He came across as a village idiot.

It was an amazing interview. Emily allowed him to speak and the more he said the worse it got for him. I don't think she realised how much of a gotcha interview it was at the time because her reactions were so disguised and monotone which gave him the confidence to say more and more

[TheClipperchip]

This was the most amazing interview I think I’ve ever seen. It changed her life. And it certainly changed his!

[kenpudsey]

She did brilliant...she tripped him up several times, and let him dig his own grave..fantastic interview, well done Emily.

[jordanclarke]

It really did show how little he thought of the general public and Emily to think that saying he didn’t sweat would be bought as an excuse!

[jcd]

Yes Emily's interview was impeccable. She balanced toughness with kindness. You could tell inside she was disgusted with him but never came across that way.

[PuenteAJ]

It was a very well researched, top quality interview, struck perfect balance, and was so clear.
It was not like a school project, it was like a PHD thesis.
Very well done Emily.

She was brilliant! Imagine listening to Andrew’s ridiculous story and remain in control !

[theprior]

She conducted that interview at the time with really intelligent professional control. Here was someone who had done the homework in fine detail and was meticulous in serving out timely questions that clearly had the interviewee on his toes. I agree with those who say she did a magnificent job. It was legendary. I remember thinking where has this talent been hiding all these years and suddenly doing something that was so unique and not the least bit scandal mongering.

[annenield]

This interview was really well done. Very real and illuminating.

Prince Andrew sees no error in any of his dealings let's not forget 😮he's been born entitled !! He's been up to no good for years & that ex wife of his two peas in a pod

[amandaward]

It wasn't the interview that ruined him .. he did that all on his own

[camillemayers]

The World was watching and HOWLING...and the only one who didn't know, was Andrew!😂

[SabzeeS]

She is so brilliant it’s inspiring. I’m absolutely just in awe how she calmly, professionally, and intelligently took down a British royal. Her honesty and credibility just comes out of her word.
