PRINCE Andrew will take any secrets he has about Virginia Giuffre “to his grave”;, a lawyer for victims of Jeffrey Epstein said.
claimed the ‘s vow to speak to the FBI about the disgraced financier was an “empty promise”;.
He previously appeared to commit to working with law enforcement during his car-crash Newsnight interview broadcast on November 16, 2019.
But a staggering 2,000 days have now passed since, and Andrew has remained tight-lipped and maintained he knew nothing of ‘s criminal behaviour.
Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who also represents victims of Epstein, said Andrew has “hidden like a scared child”; for years.
He branded the royal’s conduct as a “monumental stain on the royal family”;.
Both Lisa and Spencer have slammed Andrew for failing to speak to authorities as the astonishing milestone slipped by this week.
It is hoped he could unknowingly hold information that could lead investigators to the “last piece of the jigsaw”; to expose the full extent of Epstein’s “.
Lisa told The Sun: “That [his vow to speak to the FBI] was obviously an empty promise.
“I think he hoped that by making it in the press everyone would say, ‘Oh, good for you. And isn’t he wonderful?’ And the whole thing would die out, which, of course it has not.
“He’s never going to do that. He’s never going to cooperate with law enforcement.
“Any secrets he has about is he’s going to take with him to his grave. I think that’s pretty clear.”;
Andrew, 65, has repeatedly ignored calls to tell US authorities what he knows about Epstein.
He has last month.
Spencer told The Sun: “Andrew’s continued failure to adequately respond to allegations against him stands as strong evidence that he is afraid to speak with the FBI about his connections and interactions with Epstein.
“His cowardice serves as a monumental stain on the royal family.
“If he had any sense of bravery or justice, he would submit to a full interview with the FBI and explain his past behaviors.
“If he is guilty of a crime, he should be man enough to face his punishment.
“For the last 10 years, all Andrew has done is hide like a scared child behind the protection of his royal status.”;
Virginia – who was – sued Andrew in 2021, claiming she was forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen.
She alleged she was made to have sex with Andrew for the first time atGhislaine Maxwell’shouse inLondonafter a night out at the club Tramp.
The mum also claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke on at least two further occasions by Maxwell and Epstein.
Andrew has always vehemently denied accusations.
During his notorious Newsnight interview, he even claimed he had no recollection of meeting Virginia and suggested a photo of him with his arm around her waist had been forged.
Lisa said: “It’s absurd for him to say her never met her when there’s a photograph of him with her, probably taken by Jeffrey Epstein, and with Ghislaine Maxwell in the background.
“He’s never been able to explain that photo. He’s always said maybe it was doctored.
“Well, he had at his disposal every forensic scientist who could have proved that and never did.
“Virginia always maintained that the photo was not doctored, that she wouldn’t even know how to do that. And frankly, I believe her.
“He was close with Maxwell and Epstein. We know that he went and visited Epstein after Epstein’s first conviction in 2008. And so that speaks volumes.”;
Spencer previously insisted it would have been of girls.
He said one of his clients said she saw the shamed dukeat a party that was flooded with underage girls.
Court documents tolf how Andrew stayed at Epstein’shome, and was accused of taking part in an “underage orgy”; on Epstein’sisland.
An unnamed Jane Doe – widely understood to be his accuserGiuffre– was allegedly “forced”; by Epsteinto “have sexual relations”; with the duke.
She was allegedly told to “give the Prince whatever he demanded”;.
In 2020, the FBI asked thefor help to quiz Andrew.
Thatinvestigationwas paused last year, however.
Lisa said: “Jeffrey Epstein was such a prolific predator.
“Hundreds have come forward, and usually there are many more who don’t come forward.
“We know there were as many as three girls a day for years.
“Those victims deserve justice. And he could not do that on his own.
“We know that Maxwell was basically his lieutenant who helped him. And now she’s incarcerated for a long time – good.
“But there were certainly others, and everyone needs to be brought to justice, and that’s why it’s important to have transparency.”;
