it's not been deeply covered in the uk -- standard-issue media-royalty omerta - and maitlis definitely softballed the issues in the interview, which may have been smart tactics (let him get comfy, he'll tell on himself) or institutional complicity (don't attack the firm). in the event he DID tell on himself so…

This seems to be tottering a bit at the moment - the Sun has 'EXCLUSIVE You couldn’t make this one up! Prince Andrew attended church with the Queen this morning and told her his disastrous TV interview was “a great success”.'
Though the Daily Mail is still loyal: "Andrew: my regret over TV interview. EXCLUSIVE: After controversial grilling, prince tells friends of his sympathy for paedophile Epstein's victims"

Friends of Jason Stein, who worked as the prince’s press adviser for little more than a fortnight, confirmed that he told Andrew not to do the interview shortly before leaving his position by mutual consent last month.
look i'm not saying that jason 'jeffrey ep' stein was actually a deep state agent working to sacrifice the prince to keep other, more powerful figures in power, but i'm not not saying it either

Fergie famously had her debts paid off by a generous donation from...Jeffrey Epstein.
It definitely sounds like the palace had been briefing the press about PA’s innocence, the Giuffre photo being faked, etc, but presumably think that’s unsustainable and it’s better to cut him loose to some extent.

fwiw the royals are def popular here but like not that popular, like i am a compulsive news follower and i wasnt totally sure how prince andrew fit into the royal family, that he was charles younger brother was my guess but that was just based on deduction, i did just look it up on wikipedia tho

The royals may not be that popular now, but they would be if they'd be sold to America, for sure.

There's another one, Prince Edward - but he's even more anonymous than Andrew, I don't think he's been seen him in about 10 years, that's how it seems anyway.
