Buckingham Palace has denied "underage sex slave" claim against Prince Andrew asserted by a woman in US court papers.

A woman named Duke of York in documents she filed in a Florida court over how prosecutors handled a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein, the BBC reported.

She claims that between 1999 and 2002 she was forced to have sex with the prince in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said that for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors was categorically untrue; however, they would not comment in detail on the legal proceedings.

 

This was a long-running, complicated legal action which began in 2011 against an American businessman called Jeffrey Epstein who has served 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Back in 2011 Prince Andrew had to apologise for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
