He has faced claims from US prosecutors that he is avoiding giving his version of events in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal
Prince Andrew is “bewildered” by claims he is not co-operating with the US investigation into the alleged sex trafficking of minors by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, his legal team said Friday.
Epstein committed suicide in jail while awaiting trial in 2019 and Queen Elizabeth II's second son quit his royal duties after he defended his relationship with him. Acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Audrey Strauss told reporters on Thursday they would “welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with us”.The 60-year-old Duke of York vehemently denies claims he had sex with a 17-year-old girl procured by Epstein.
“More excuses, more delays, it really is painful for many of the victims. It's just not fair,” lawyer Gloria Allred told ITV.
