Britain’s Prince Andrew has stepped back from his Royal duties after a series of damaging revelations about his close friendship with American pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew was accused of being a part of Epstein’s child sex ring.
Epstein, who was charged with multiple counts of child molestation and human trafficking, hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell in August.
Prince Andrew’s problems began when a photo leaked that showed the Duke of York embracing one of Epstein’s young victims. The image was reportedly taken at Epstein’s infamous NY townhouse at 9 East 71st Street years ago.
Initially Prince Andrew denied knowing Epstein. Then, after the photo leaked, he claimed the image was Photoshopped and that wasn’t his hand around the young lady’s waist. But photo experts analyzed the image right down to the pixels – and determined the photo was not Photoshopped.
In a recent interview with the BBC about his friendship with Epstein, Prince Andrew claimed amnesia, saying he didn’t recall taking a photo with the young girl.
In the interview, which aired Saturday, Andrew denied having sex with Virginia Giuffre, the girl in the photo.
Giuffre claims she had sex with Andrew three times in 2001 at Epstein’s properties.
Prince Andrew announced he was stepping back from public duties for the “foreseeable future.”
“It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family’s work and the valuable work going on in the many organizations and charities that I am proud to support,” Andrew said in a statement. “Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.”
