Prince Andrew emerges: Duke breaks silence amid Epstein scandal, denies allegations as damaging court documents surface

Prince Andrew, facing renewed scrutiny after the release of Jeffrey Epstein court documents, was spotted leaving the Royal Lodge for a dog walk, seemingly unaffected by the recent revelations that reportedly led him to “lock himself away in a room.”

The Duke, named once again in connection with the convicted paedophile Epstein, was implicated in fresh bombshell files linking him to the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking conduct. The documents suggest Andrew had knowledge of Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein’s activities, including interactions with underage minors, notably Virginia Giuffre.

Previously accused of engaging in sexual activities with Giuffre on Epstein’s private island, the latest allegations include claims of an “underage orgy.” Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer countered Giuffre’s accusations, suggesting she lied about an assault involving Andrew, citing the impractical size of the bath.

Despite reports of the Duke’s emotional turmoil and seclusion in his 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park, Prince Andrew has made public appearances, attending a shooting party with friends at his home and leaving the Royal Lodge for a routine dog walk.

This marks the third time the Duke has been seen since the release of over 1,000 pages of court documents, revealing emails, depositions, and legal papers from a 2015 lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Maxwell. The files resurface major allegations against Prince Andrew and other associates of Epstein.

In the most recent court documents, Maxwell’s lawyer Philip Barden highlights inconsistencies in Giuffre’s statements about her encounters with Prince Andrew. The Duke has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

The latest claims follow Epstein victim Sarah Ransome’s reaffirmation of allegations regarding sex tapes involving Andrew, Bill Clinton, and Richard Branson. Andrew, Clinton, and Branson deny any wrongdoing. Branson’s spokesman categorically rejected Ransome’s allegations, citing her retraction in 2016 and acknowledgement that the “tapes” were invented after settling claims with Epstein and Maxwell in 2019.

As Prince Andrew navigates the fallout from these damaging court documents, the public remains captivated by the unfolding scandal surrounding his connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him.
