Prince Andrew announces that he will step back from public duties because his ties to Jeffrey Epstein had become a “major disruption” to the royal family’s charitable work
Prince Andrew attends the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Britain, November 9, 2019.
Andrew said he had obtained the queen's permission to step away. He also said he was willing to help any law enforcement agency with an investigation. Andrew said his history with Epstein had disrupted his family’s work and “the valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support.”
Epstein’s suicide “has left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure,” Andrew said. “I can only hope that, in time, they will be able to rebuild their lives.” Andrew has faced questions over his links to Epstein for years, and he hoped the interview with the BBC’s Emily Maitlis would ease the pressure.The interview centred on whether he had had sex with Virginia Giuffre, who says she was trafficked by Epstein. Though Andrew denied the claims, his answers drew scorn. Giuffre said she had sex with Andrew on three occasions, including twice when she was 17.
