Prince Andrew Accused of Requesting Dirt on Virginia Giuffre as New Epstein Links Emerge
LONDON – Fresh scrutiny is mounting on Prince andrew following reports alleging he requested assistance from the Metropolitan Police too investigate Virginia Giuffre, one of his most prominent accusers, adn as further evidence surfaces regarding his continued contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after previously claiming to have severed ties. The developments come as Giuffre’s legal representatives remain tight-lipped about a second woman allegedly introduced to Prince Andrew by Epstein in 2010.
The renewed focus stems from an interview with broadcaster Emily Maitlis in The observer, reflecting on her contentious 2019 Newsnight interview with the Prince. During that program, prince andrew stated he had ended all association with Epstein in December 2010. Though, a recently discovered email reportedly dates from February 2011, suggesting ongoing communication. Maitlis stated Prince Andrew “lied” to her.
The Mail on Sunday reports that Epstein allegedly introduced Prince Andrew to a second woman in 2010,attempting to arrange a dinner between them in London. The woman, who remains unnamed, is reported to have been abused by Epstein for years and is now focused on rebuilding her life. Emails allegedly exchanged between Epstein and Prince Andrew discussing dates and availability are cited in the report. When asked if her client had ever met Prince Andrew, the woman’s lawyer reportedly responded with a “stony silence.”
These revelations add to a long history of allegations against Prince Andrew concerning his relationship with Epstein and accusations of sexual assault, all of which he denies. The emergence of a second alleged victim is expected to significantly impact the Royal Family. A representative for Prince Andrew declined to comment, according to the Mail.
The situation echoes previous claims that Prince Andrew actively sought to discredit Giuffre. While details are emerging, the reports suggest a proactive effort to gather perhaps damaging facts about his accuser, raising questions about the extent of his attempts to counter the allegations.
Simultaneously occurring, separate reporting in The Sunday Times details a national security concern: one of the suspects in a Chinese spying case was allegedly carrying a “suitcase full of cash” – £4,000 – when stopped by police at Heathrow in 2023. The money is believed to have come from a Chinese intelligence handler. charges against the suspect, Christopher Berry, and a co-defendant were later dropped. The Mail on Sunday also reports on “new spy fears” surrounding the proposed site for a Chinese super embassy in London, citing its proximity to a sensitive telephone exchange.
In lighter news, The Sun on Sunday reports that Sarina Wiegman, manager of the England women’s football team, is expected to receive an honorary damehood in the King’s New Year’s Honours list following the Lionesses’ euro victory.
