An American woman who says she was forced to have underage sex with Prince Andrew has appealed to Britons to take her side, saying that only she was telling the truth.
Virginia Giuffre says she was trafficked by disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with his friends, including the British royal when she was 17 years old. Andrew categorically denies the allegations.
Andrew, 59, Queen Elizabeth's second son, denies the accusations or having any relationship with Ms Giuffre, who was previously named Virginia Roberts. In her interview, which was recorded before the prince spoke to the BBC, Ms Giuffre said she was taken to the Tramp nightclub in London by Mr Epstein and his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew asked her to dance, she said.
He said he suffered from a medical condition that stopped him perspiring and cast doubt on the authenticity of a picture from 2001 which showed him with his arm around Ms Giuffre's waist.
