Prince Andrew has been banished from the royal whirl after emails emerged this week showing that he had remained in contact with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein longer than he previously admitted.

Extracts from the book state Jeffrey Epstein praised her after having sex with Andrew by saying: ‘The prince had fun.’

Prince Andrew’s late accuser Virginia Giuffre is expected to share new details about her alleged sexual encounter with the Duke of York in an upcoming autobiography. Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice is set to be published posthumously on October 21.
