ARROGANT ANDY GOING TO PRISON!

Defies queen’s orders & thumbs nose at FBI Epstein investigat­ors

- Geoffrey Berman

DISGRACED Prince Andrew, defying Queen Elizabeth’s orders to squeal about his times with murdered pedophile

Jeffrey Epstein, is stonewalli­ng the feds’ investigat­ion and will be put behind bars, sources tell GLOBE! Andrew’s insubordin­ation became clear when Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman announced the Duke of York has decided not to keep his public promise to “cooperate with law enforcemen­t investigat­ing the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirato­rs.”

Says Berman: “The Southern District of New York and the FBI have requested to interview Prince Andrew,” but the royal “has provided zero cooperatio­n.”

Andrew denies knowing Epstein was bedding underage girls even though he hung out with the billionair­e deviant for a dozen years, including after the perverted financier served time and became a registered sex offender.

He also denies being close to Epstein’s lover Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s been in hiding since the debauched moneyman was found last year hanging in a federal prison cell while awaiting trial for new sex crimes.

Now, sources tell GLOBE defiant

Andrew will be thrown in a cage, too, if he ever sets foot in America. But insiders say federal investigat­ors are also asking British authoritie­s to squeeze Her Majesty’s disgraced son, who was forced to withdraw from public life over his Epstein connection­s.

Meanwhile, Paul Page, who worked palace security from 1998 to 2004, insists Andrew is lying about not knowing Ghislaine. He claims Andrew secretly snuck her into Buckingham Palace for intimate get-togethers.

She first showed up in 2001 when an official “phoned down and said, ‘We’ve got a guest coming for Andrew but the name is not to be entered in the book,’” Page recalls.

“One of my colleagues saw her come in and out the palace four times in one day.”

Ironically, 2001 is the same year Virginia Roberts, one of Epstein’s teen sex slaves, claims the twisted billionair­e and Ghislaine pimped her to Andy, then 41, for a sex romp. But Ghislaine insists she never arranged trysts for Andrew — or Epstein.

Andrew denies ever meeting

Roberts even though she has a photo of them together - taken when she was just 17.

Right after Roberts made her claim in 2015, sources say the prince emailed Ghislaine, saying: “Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.”
