Prince Andrew faces renewed scrutiny as fresh revelations emerge from recently unsealed Epstein court documents, presenting a major setback in his ongoing s*x scandal.
The legal papers are part of a 2015 defamation lawsuit filed by accuser Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In the unsealed documents, Maxwell vehemently denies introducing Prince Andrew to Epstein, contrary to Andrew's 2019 interview with Newsnight. During the interview, Andrew claimed he met Epstein "through his girlfriend (Maxwell)" in 1999, describing their relationship as that of friends but not close friends.
The contradiction between Maxwell's denial and Andrew's statement raises questions, with a victim of Epstein, compensated from Epstein’s fund, stating, “Well, one of them is lying.” The victim, a 36-year-old mother, highlighted the seemingly close relationship between Andrew and Maxwell, suggesting it may have been a façade.
In a direct plea to the Duke of York, the victim urged Prince Andrew to "come clean" and cooperate with the FBI. The renewed attention on the prince is fueled by the latest revelations from the court documents, intensifying the pressure on him to address the inconsistencies and provide clarity regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
