Prince has ‘no recollection’ of Epstein accuser
LONDON — Britain’s Prince Andrew has said he has “no recollection” of meeting a woman who claimed he forced her to have sex with him while she was a teenager allegedly held in “sexual servitude” by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The BBC asked Andrew, 59, about allegations by Virginia Roberts that she was forced to have sex three times with Andrew, including when she was 17.
“I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady,” Andrew told the broadcaster in an advance clip from the interview, scheduled to be broadcast Saturday.
Andrew, the son of Queen Elizabeth II, admitted that his most recent stay with Epstein, after the late financier had already been convicted, was not “becoming of a member of the royal family.”
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August in what was ruled a suicide.
