Royal denies having sex with 17-year-old girl procured by billionaire found dead in prison
Prince Andrew on November 20 2019 said he was cancelling his public engagements, as the outcry from the British royal's friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed no sign of abating. Picture: AFP/ DPA/ SWEN PFÖRTNERPrince Andrew was urged on Thursday to speak to lawyers representing victims of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after it was announced he was quitting public life because of the scandal.
As a growing number of organisations distanced themselves from the royal and his pet projects, he said he was cancelling public engagements because of the backlash. “All of the staff who work for Prince Andrew should come and give information and evidence and the documents should be turned over — e-mails, texts, calendars, phone logs, travel logs —so we can get to the bottom of this,” she said.“We believe that nobody is above the law and that everybody should have to answer questions if they have relevant information — and he clearly does have relevant information.
Tabloid daily The Sun called the statement “a desperate attempt to fix the appalling failures of his TV interview over the Epstein scandal”. But as well as potentially having to be quizzed by US investigators, some cast doubt on some of Andrew’s claims.
