Princess Beatrice played ‘rainmaker’ in getting Andrew sit with Newsnight

Princess Beatrice wanted to help father Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in explaining his story

Princess Beatrice played a key role in helping father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, sit in for his infamous interview.

Back in 2019, Andrew expressed his store of the story months after victim Virginia Giuffre accused the ex-Prince of sexual abuse.

Speaking about his BBC Newsnight interview, producer Sam McAlister, tells the Daily Mail’s Royal Confidential YouTube show that it was Beatrice who facilitated the tell-all.

“It was clear that if we didn’t answer her questions well, this interview was never going to happen,” McAlister said.

He added that Beatrice time, “came along unexpectedly to the face-to-face negotiation, which happened just three days before this interview physically happened.”

He continued: “I called her the rainmaker. And the reason is because she was protecting her father’s interests.”

This comes as a source tells Radar Online: "Beatrice has always had a fiercely loyal streak, especially when it comes to her father. Her instinct is to stand by Andrew and show solidarity, regardless of the public backlash. She feels that turning away in difficult moments would only deepen the fracture."
