Clip of Virginia Roberts’ interview on Prince Andrew released

The first clip of Epstein trafficking victim Virginia Roberts’ explosive Panorama interview has surfaced showing her repeating her claim that Prince Andrew slept with her.

The hour-long special, which airs on BBC One on Monday was recorded before the Duke’s disastrous Newsnight interview, in which he denied the allegation.

But Virginia, who is now married and has the surname Giuffre, tells the show: ‘It was a really scary time in my life.

‘He knows what happened, I know what happened. And there’s only one of us telling the truth.’

The duke has withdrawn from public duties after he was widely criticised for failing to show remorse for his friendship or much empathy with Epstein’s alleged victims during his television appearance.

Her allegations, which Andrew strenuously denies, were struck from US civil court records in 2015 after a judge said they were ‘immaterial and impertinent’.

It follows Andrew’s attempt to defend himself against Ms Giuffre’s accusations and explain his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein during an interview on BBC’s Newsnight which was branded a ‘car crash’.

In the interview, the duke denied Ms Giuffre’s claims and said an alleged encounter with her in 2001 did not happen as he spent the day with his daughter, Princess Beatrice, taking her to Pizza Express in Woking for a party.

Ms Giuffre alleged the duke sweated heavily as they danced at London nightclub Tramp.

During the interview, Andrew said he had a medical condition at the time, after suffering an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when he was shot at, which meant he did not sweat.

Ms Giuffre has claimed in court papers in Florida that she was forced to have sex with Andrew when she was aged 17, below the state’s age of consent.

Her allegations, which Andrew strenuously denies, were struck from US civil court records in 2015 after a judge said they were ‘immaterial and impertinent’.

Buckingham Palace has branded the allegations ‘false and without any foundation’, stating: ‘Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors by the duke was ‘categorically untrue’.

Ms Giuffre has criticised the Metropolitan Police for failing to investigate her allegations.

The Met said it stands by its decision not to investigate claims by the duke’s accuser, and added that officers had spoken to other law enforcement agencies but have ‘not received a formal request asking for assistance’.

It said it reviewed its previous decision that it was ‘not the appropriate authority to conduct inquiries in these circumstances’ following Epstein’s death in August, and that its position remained unchanged.

Epstein killed himself in August in a New York prison while he was being held on sex trafficking charges.
