Sources are saying that Prince Andrew will co-operate with the FBI over allegations involving him in the case of the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“Members of the Royal Family would always co-operate with the police in an appropriate way,” Buckingham Palace aides said, making it clear that Andrew would cooperate if requested.

Buckingham Palace has vehemently denied that Andrew had “any form of sexual contact or relationship” with Virginia Roberts, Epstein’s alleged sex slave who claims she had sex with the royal three times when she was underage.

The palace claims that Andrew only met Epstein, a billionaire with many ties to famous people like Bill Clinton, in 1999. However, they said that Andrew had known Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend who many of his victims have claimed was his “procurer-in-chief,” for “many years, since she was a student.” Aides also said that Andrew had no contact with Epstein when the latter was in prison on various sex charges, and only saw him once after he was released, when they were photographed together in New York in 2010.

“The duke did not have any contact with Jeffrey Epstein during his time in prison and visited him once following his release. He showed mistaken loyalty and regrets the visit,” a source explained.

Many have doubted Epstein’s latest story, however, because flight logs show that he met the billionaire in 1998. Other flight logs show that Andrew stayed on Epstein’s Caribbean island Little St James, known by locals as “Pedophile Island,” for three days in early February 1999. Buckingham Palace has claimed that Andrew had “no recollection” of his three days in Little St James.

The royal family has thus far stood by Andrew, but it remains to be seen what further details will come to light about his relationship with Epstein. Find out more about the latest on this in the video below.
