Prince Andrew vows to end friendship with billionaire child sex offender
March 5th, 2011 - 1:23 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 5 (ANI): Prince Andrew has vowed to cut his controversial links with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duke of York has finally admitted that meeting the disgraced billionaire recently was ‘unwise’.
He has also ruled out further visits to the Florida mansion where Epstein sexually exploited underage girls.
In a warning that may have come from the Queen, the duke’s aides have advised him that his continued association with the paedophile risked damaging the reputation of the monarchy.
Now the duke, the fourth in line to the throne, has cut ties with Epstein, 58, in the hope that he can draw a line under the sordid association.
“The duke recognises now that the meeting in December 2010, after Epstein’s conviction, was unwise,” the Daily Mail quoted a source as saying. (ANI)
