That's going to be one sad birthday party
Since Jeffrey Epstein, the New York financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell on August 10, scrutiny around who was involved in his alleged underage sex ring has shone a light on a few well-known names, most notably Prince Andrew. The second-born son to Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of York is one of the highest profile alleged associates in the now worldwide scandal.
On November 16, Prince Andrew spoke out publicly for the first time about his relationship with Epstein and the allegations against his former friend, sitting down for a BBC TV interview in Buckingham Palace. And it was pretty much a PR nightmare. The interview has become a national joke in the U.K., depicting Prince Andrew, according to CNN journalist Kate Maltby, as “an entitled man-[child], incapable of understanding consequences.” Ouch.
Accuser speaks out against Prince Andrew Although the charges against Epstein were officially dropped following his death, more than a dozen women still had a chance to tell their stories about Epstein and possible co-conspirators to a packed federal courtroom in New York City on August 27. One of the accusers, Virginia Roberts , spoke out about Prince Andrew in particular: “He knows what he’s done and he can attest to that. He knows exactly what he’s done and I hope he comes clean about it.
Fergie’s connection to Epstein We know that Prince Andrew met Epstein in 1999. They were reportedly introduced to each other by Maxwell, a close friend of the Prince. We also know that Ferguson, a.k.a. Fergie, also had dealings with Epstein. In 2011, Epstein paid her assistant £15,000 to allow her to restructure some of her debt.
In denying any involvement in Epstein’s alleged crimes, Prince Andrew described their relationship as if they were infrequent acquaintances—yet he brought Epstein to the royal family’s vacation home in Scotland, in 1999.
