Following the controversial interview, several companies and charities distanced themselves from Andrew, causing further embarrassment to the Royal Family.
"It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family's work and the valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support," Andrew said in a statement on Wednesday."Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.
He also questioned Virginia's account of meeting him sweating and dancing at a London nightclub, saying,"I didn't sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War, when I was shot at...it was almost impossible for me to sweat." Days after the interview, British tabloids posted pics of Andrew sweating and interacting with women at parties.
In the interview, after it was noted that he stayed at the house of a"convicted sex offender," Andrew signed and said,"It was a convenient place to stay. I've gone through this in my mind so many times. At the end of the day, with the benefit of all the hindsight that one can have, it was definitely the wrong thing to do. But at the time, I felt it was the honorable and right thing to do.
