Why Andrew has to work with the law

For the sake of the Royal Family, his children and his own reputation, Prince Andrew should co-operate fully with the judicial process to clear his name over the allegation he had sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17.

If he is innocent, he has nothing to hide. But in my eyes, the less he co-operates, the more suspicious he looks, even though he strenuously denies any wrongdoing.

Ms Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies said: ”Prince Andrew cannot hide behind his wealth and power from allegations he sexually abused a child.”

He’s right. As Met Police chief Cressida Dick said: No one is above the law.
