Fergie: He’s telling the truth, 100%

- By Andrew Young

SARAH FERGUSON has said she is convinced that her former husband Prince Andrew is telling the truth about his part in the scandal surroundin­g convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duchess of York said she was ‘100 per cent’ certain that her ex-husband was being honest when he denied seeing anything untoward during the time he spent with the financier.

She told the Financial Times: ‘I want him [Andrew] to come through this. I want him to win.’

When asked why she was sure of his probity, she replied: ‘No question. I know everything about him. I think he is an extraordin­ary person.’ The Duchess said she and Andrew, who split in 1997, were ‘the happiest divorced couple in the world’, living under the same roof at Royal Lodge, Windsor, but with their own rooms.

‘We support each other like pillars of strengths,’ she added.
