Prince Andrew will co-operate with police over the Jeffrey Epstein case if asked, the Mail has been told.
Buckingham Palace aides made clear that the embattled Duke of York would be willing to help authorities on both sides of the Atlantic if approached, saying: ‘Members of the Royal Family would always co-operate with the police in an appropriate way.’
Last week it emerged that the Metropolitan Police had decided not to investigate claims first made in 2015 that the prince had sex with a 17-year-old victim of the paedophile financier, who committed suicide earlier this month awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. But the FBI are investigating both the charges against Epstein and the circumstances around his death.
