21 November 2019The families of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein have invited Prince Andrew to introduce himself and collaborate with the American authorities who are investigating the case of the billionaire convicted of sexual abuse and suicide in a cell. "All those who work with the prince - five-family lawyer Lisa Bloom told the BBC - should provide information and documentation they have: email, telephone messages, diaries". "Nobody - added Bloom - is above the law, and, if they have significant information, they must answer questions. He (Prince Andrew) certainly has significant information".

Yesterday the announcement of the 'withdrawal' from public life
Yesterday the Duke of York announced his "withdrawal" from public life. Andrea's decision came after a disastrous interview with the BBC, broadcast over the weekend, in which she gave rambling explanations of her actions and showed a lack of compassion for the victims of her billionaire friend. With the journalist Emily Maitlis, the prince admitted that he had "embarrassed" the royal family with his attendance, but said he did not remember ever having met Virginia Giuffre, the woman who claimed to have been obliged, when he was still minor, having sex with Andrea between 1999 and 2002 in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by the 66-year-old billionaire.

A position, that of the Duke of York, in contrast to the presence of a photo that shows him with the woman, when he was still very young. The ruinous interview was followed by several tiles: a new accuser of the financier-pedophile asked the Duke of York to speak, numerous illustrious sponsors have distanced themselves from the philanthropic realities he promoted, while embarrassing details of his racist comments have come out even in situations official.

Andrea's position had become unsustainable, explained former Buckingham Palace press secretary Dickie Arbiter, the only surprise is why it took so long to get him off the stage. Anyway, Andrea will not be able to completely disappear: not only the lawyers of some families of the victims want to talk to him, but also the FBI and under oath.
