Buckingham Palace faces renewed embarrassment as explosive court documents reveal startling new details about Prince Andrew's alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring. The newly unsealed files from Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell contain graphic accounts that could further damage the Duke of York's already tarnished reputation.
Graphic Allegations Emerge
According to the testimony from Johanna Sjoberg, a former Epstein victim, Prince Andrew participated in sexual activities with Virginia Giuffre when she was underage. The documents allege the Duke engaged in an orgy aboard Epstein's private plane while travelling between New York and the US Virgin Islands.
Even more disturbingly, Sjoberg claims Epstein directed her and Giuffre to entertain the royal, stating they "needed to do for Andrew what we do for him." This suggests a pattern of behaviour where young women were expected to provide sexual services to Epstein's powerful friends.
Multiple Accusations Surface
The unsealed records contain multiple accounts from different witnesses alleging similar behaviour. Another victim described being forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on Epstein's private island, Little St James, while being underage. These consistent accounts from multiple sources strengthen the credibility of the allegations against the royal.
Buckingham Palace has repeatedly denied all accusations, maintaining that Prince Andrew has no recollection of ever meeting Virginia Giuffre. However, the mounting evidence from various witnesses presents a challenging narrative for the monarchy to overcome.
Legal Fallout Continues
These revelations emerge from the 2015 defamation case between Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, which was settled out of court. The documents remained sealed for years but have now been made public, reigniting scrutiny of Prince Andrew's connections to the convicted sex offender.
The timing couldn't be worse for the Royal Family, as they attempt to maintain their reputation amid ongoing controversies. Prince Andrew was stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages in January 2022 and no longer uses his HRH style following the settlement of Giuffre's sexual assault case against him.
