Another insider interviewed for "Secrets of Prince Andrew" is Paul Tweed, a media lawyer who has worked for the prince and describes himself as a "friend of the family." Tweed claims that he is being interviewed for the documentary with the royals' blessing, but he also makes clear that he has been given carte blanche to speak as freely as he likes about the scandal that has engulfed the British monarchy. According to Tweed, he just wants to give "balance ... from a human perspective."

One of the recurring questions in "Secrets of Prince Andrew" is how exactly Andrew was allowed to give an interview to BBC's "Newsnight," during which he was grilled by one of Britain's most incisive political interviewers. Tweed claims that Andrew would have been "trusting" in the run-up to the interview — and entirely unprepared for the havoc it was to unleash on his public profile. The prince, says Tweed, believes himself to be innocent but was "naive" in going ahead with the interview against Tweed's advice. The result, as Tweed had foreseen, was a trainwreck.
