Just weeks after Prince Andrew addressed his friendship with convicted sex offender and pedofile Jeffrey Epstein in an interview with the BBC, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times when she was a minor being trafficked by Epstein, did her own televised interview imploring the UK to take action against the Queen's reported favourite son.

Going into detail about the night she allegedly met Andrew with Epstein and his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell - he denies ever being present and says he was instead at the UK fast-food restaurant, Pizza Express - Giuffre told BBC's Panorama: “We went into the VIP section. There was no waiting in the lines obviously - you were with a Prince. Andrew asked me what I wanted to drink, you know, and I said, ‘Oh, you know, something from the bar.”
“He had something clear [to drink],” she continued. “I know mine was vodka, and then he asked me to dance. He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean it was horrible, and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere. I was just grossed out from it, but I knew I had to keep him happy because that’s what Jeffrey and Ghislaine would have expected from me.”
Giuffre said that later that evening, she had sex with Prince Andrew upstairs at Maxwell's house in Belgravia.
In response to the interview, Buckingham Palace said the Duke "unequivocally regrets his ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein" and "deeply sympathises with those affected who want some form of closure."
"It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation".
