The 'slave' who claims she had sex with Prince Andrew while under-age is writing a book that threatens to go into forensic detail about her alleged involvement with the Duke of York, MailOnline can reveal today. She also plans to name American politicians, business executives, foreign presidents and a well-known Prime Minister she claims Jeffrey Epstein forced her to sleep with. MailOnline understands that Miss Roberts, whose father has retracted claims she met the Queen, could publish the book this year, which means the scandal shows no sign of abating for the royal family. Miss Roberts was pictured outside a home in Denver, Colorado yesterday, where she is understood to have retreated to be with her husband, Robert, mother and stepfather. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace is said to have conceded the furore 'isn't going to go away'. Prince Andrew is expected to hold crisis talks with the Queen today as he returned to Britain after a luxury holiday with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and daughter Eugenie.  The Duke of York was locked inside a £22,000-a-week ski lodge in Verbier for two days after he was accused of abusing the girl ‘procured’ for him by his close friend and convicted paedophile Epstein. The extraordinary allegation made by Virginia Roberts is part of a US civil case against shamed billionaire Epstein. She claims Prince Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 – a minor under US law – and employed as a ‘sex slave’ by Epstein. The fifth in line to the throne slept with Miss Roberts at an orgy with other under-age girls on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, as well as in a private house in London and in Epstein’s New York mansion, according to the court papers. The prince – who looked sombre as he left his luxury £22,000-a-week Swiss ski chalet yesterday – is today expected to meet with his most senior aides and lawyers in his mansion close to Windsor Castle.  It is also understood he will reassure his mother at the earliest possible opportunity that the claims he faces are false. But if Miss Roberts does publish a tell-all book, which expands on the claims she made in court papers, it could be a major embarrassment to Prince Andrew and the Royal Family. It could also lead to the naming of other high profile people and could lead to further police investigations and to some prosecutions.  |

 Prince Andrew’s “sex slave” vows to bring him to justice in a criminal court alleging he was involved in an underage orgy with his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein and eight young girls. In court papers filed yesterday, Virginia Roberts claims she was paid $400 to “service” Prince Andrew, who she referred to as “Andy”, while under the age of consent. She repeats her claim of having sex with him in London then gives more details of times she says she met the Duke at Epstein’s home in New York and on his Caribbean island.  In the papers lodged in Florida, she says: “The second time I had sex with Prince Andrew was in Epstein’s New York mansion in spring 2001. “I was 17 at time. Epstein was there, along with Maxwell and Andy. Epstein and Maxwell were making lewd jokes about ‘Randy Andy’. I had the impression Andy had come there to have sex with me. There was no other apparent purpose for him to be there. I was told to go upstairs with Andy and to go to the room I thought of as the dungeon. I had sex with Andy there. I was only paid $400 from Epstein for servicing Andy. The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein’s private island. “Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together.” The mum-of-three, who said she was “recruited” by Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, aged 15, said she wanted to bring all the “powerful people” who had abused her to justice.  She added: “I have directed my attorneys to pursue all reasonable and legitimate means to have criminal charges brought against these powerful people for crimes they have committed against me and other girls. “I am telling the truth and will not let these attacks prevent me from exposing the truth that I was trafficked for sex to many powerful people.” Lawyers for Miss Roberts claim they sent a letter to Andrew demanding he gives a statement under oath. But they say it was sent back as having been refused by the recipient. The latest allegations came as claims were made that flight logs appeared to put Prince Andrew and Miss Roberts together in the locations at the time she claims the three sex sessions took place. The records, said to match court circulars outlining Andrew’s whereabouts in 2001, are believed to show he was on Epstein’s Caribbean island at the time Miss Roberts claims the underage orgy took place – as well as in London and New York on the two other occasions.  She has claimed she was forced to have sex with him in the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell. The pair were pictured together there on that night. She says she was paid £10,000 in total by Epstein for her time with the Duke. Flights logs and official documents appear to show Andrew and Roberts were in London on March 2001, in New York in early April, and in the Caribbean on the US Virgin Islands later the same week. Roberts did not turn 18 until August of that year. Lawyers acting for billionaire Epstein had tried to silence Roberts on Tuesday, claiming she has no right to bring a case. The billionaire’s legal team say she repeatedly refused to bring a complaint before the six-year statute of limitations expired. |

If there was a sex scandal swirling around Prince Andrew it didn’t show yesterday as he returned to royal duties after an attempt to have him testify about underage 'sex slave' Virginia Roberts failed. He was photographed laughing heartily in front of a Union Jack as he donned his naval uniform for a ceremony at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset. The prince has vehemently denied allegations in the US that he slept with 17-year-old Virginia Roberts, who alleges she was ‘procured’ for him by his close friend, convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.  Last week, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he broke his silence on the controversy, saying he wanted to ‘reiterate and reaffirm’ Buckingham Palace statements that insist he never had any kind of sexual contact or relationship with his accuser. Since then the prince has tried to put the scandal to one side with a ‘business as usual approach’ to his public duties, which yesterday involved presenting four Royal Navy helicopter pilots and two observers with their wings. Miss Roberts, who claims she had sex three times with the Duke of York when she was 17, a claim he emphatically denies, served papers on him via the British Embassy in Washington but they were returned to sender. Dressed in uniform he said: 'Just being here today at one of these very, very important ceremonies in the life of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm brought back memories to me when I was stood where these young people were a long time ago'. But he did not mention the sex allegations a week after his public denial in Davos.  The attempt by Miss Roberts' legal team to serve papers on Prince Andrew came a week after couriers FedEx returned a similar letter because it was 'refused' by the recipient at Buckingham Palace. The letter to the Prince says: 'This is a formal request to interview you under oath at a time and place of your choosing.' The Foreign Office has said they refused to take the legal papers because sending them to a British Embassy was not the 'appropriate way' to serve them. A spokesman said: 'Documents were incorrectly sent to our embassy in Washington. As they were not served via the appropriate channels, we are returning the documents so they can be sent by the agreed international channels for the transmission of legal papers.'  |

 The woman at the centre of the Prince Andrew 'sex slave' scandal has told a US court that she believes the FBI has videos of her having sex with Jeffrey Epstein and his 'powerful friends' while she was underage. Virginia Roberts, who alleges that she was loaned out to the Duke of York and other high-profile Epstein associates, also stated that she feared for her life while working as Epstein's 'sex slave'. It comes a week after Epstein, an American billionaire who has been convicted of soliciting underage prostitution, hit out at 'outlandish attacks' by the 'gossip media' over the case. Miss Roberts, 31, accuses Epstein, the Prince, and – among others – the leading American defence lawyer Alan Dershowitz of abusing her while she was underage. Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell - also named in court documents - Mr Dershowitz and Jeffrey Epstein have vigorously denied the accusations. A Buckingham Palace statement said: 'It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship [with the woman]. 'The allegations made are false and without any foundation.' In court papers, Miss Roberts claims she was forced to have sex with the royal on three separate occasions - including an orgy - at three locations; London, New York and the US Virgin Islands. She is said to have been 17 at the time of the alleged meetings, meaning she was underage according to the law in Florida.  Miss Roberts, now 31, claims that she was groomed on behalf of Epstein by Maxwell – daughter of disgraced newspaper owner Robert - when she was 15 and forced into a world of sexual abuse. In her latest court filing, submitted to a Florida court on Friday, Miss Roberts stated US authorities were holding back damning evidence of activities that she was made to engage in while working as Epstein's 'sex slave'. Swearing under oath, Miss Roberts said she knew that 'Epstein maintained videos in some rooms' where she had 'sex with other powerful people'.  She said: 'Based on my knowledge of Epstein and his organization, as well as discussions with the FBI, it is my belief that federal prosecutors likely possess videotapes and photographic images of me as an underage girl having sex with Epstein and some of his powerful friends.' Miss Roberts also detailed interactions she had with investigators from the FBI that led her to believe she was the victim of a 'major cover up' - proof of Epstein's power and influence. She also claimed she was physically abused by Epstein's friends to such an extent that she feared for her life. She said: 'Without going into the details of the sexual activities I was forced to endure, there were times when I was physically abused to the point that I remember fearfully thinking that I didn’t know whether I was going to survive.' |

Prince Andrew’s alibi that he was at a pizza restaurant with his daughter on the same day he is accused of being with an alleged Jeffrey Epstein sex slave does not hold water, according to a bombshell news report. But the report in the Daily Mail also found holes in the story of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who claims she was trafficked by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his former gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with the royal in 2001. No one can apparently corroborate the prince’s explanation that he took his daughter, Princess Beatrice, to a Pizza Express restaurant outside London on March 10, 2001, for a party, according to the report. The outlet found Andrew had booked a home manicure on the afternoon he says he dropped the then 12-year-old at the party in Surrey.  Roberts Giuffre claims she had sex with Andrew at Maxwell’s London home after a night of clubbing on that date. The prince’s royal bodyguard, who accompanied him that evening, is now dead, according to the newspaper. The Pizza Express alibi prompted widespread ridicule when the prince brought it up during an embarrassing interview with the BBC last year. The Daily Mail report also questioned some of the main tenets of Roberts Giuffre’s account of her night with Andrew, in which she claims they had sex in the bathtub of Maxwell’s home. The newspaper found the bathtub is too small to accommodate two people. |
