1. Prince Andrew has “provided zero co-operation” to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Prince Andrew has “provided zero co-operation” to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking inquiry, according to a US prosecutor.
US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who is overseeing the Epstein investigation, says Andrew’s lawyers have been contacted by prosecutors and the FBI, asking to interview Queen Elizabeth’s second son as part of the investigation.
“To date, Prince Andrew has provided zero co-operation,” Berman told a news conference outside Epstein’s New York mansion on Monday.
It comes after Prince Andrew told the BBC in a sit-down interview during November that he is “willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency”.
Following that interview, which was widely considered disastrous, Prince Andrew stepped down from royal duties.

After the interview, the Duke of York was accused of lacking empathy for Epstein’s victims and of failing to show regret over his friendship with the disgraced financier.
