Prince Andrew is facing massive allegations – soon to be in court. Ironically, Kevin Spacey should now help him.
How desperate is Prince Andrew (61)? Since Virginia Giuffre (38) went public with the allegations that she was abused by the British Royal at 17, the son of Queen Elizabeth II (95) has been struggling for his reputation. The US actor Kevin Spacey (62), who also fell out of favor because of allegations of abuse, should now save him. The British “The Sun” reports this highly bizarre message.
A first step in this difficult undertaking is therefore to put Prince Andrew’s acquaintance with Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell (60), who has since been found guilty, into perspective. She made herself comfortable on the Queen’s throne during a private tour of Buckingham Palace in 2002, as pictures show. Next to her, in the Prince Consort’s seat: Kevin Spacey.
According to “The Sun”, Prince Andrew now wants Spacey to admit in court that he brought Maxwell with him to the event 20 years ago. “Andrew invited Spacey to tour the palace. She came with him – not as Andrew’s guest,” an anonymous source is quoted as saying.
Prince Andrew and Maxwell have known each other forever
It is obvious that Andrew wants to distance himself from Maxwell as much as possible. After all, she was found guilty of five charges at the end of last year. Including the allegation of procuring underage victims for Jeffrey Epstein’s (1953-2019) sex ring. The sentence is still pending, she faces life behind bars.
Only: Common pictures of Prince Andrew and Maxwell, on which they sometimes look very familiar, existed long before 2002. About two years earlier, when the two were together were present at Royal Ascot race week. Also by her side in tow: Jeffrey Epstein. It is also impossible to deny the pictures that show Andrew and Maxwell together with the young Virginia Giuffre. Against this background, there is at least room for doubt that Maxwell was said to have been just an appendage of Spacey years later. In any case, it would not be the first time that attempts at explanation by the royal backfire. Shortly after the allegations, he gave a disastrous BBC interview on the Epstein scandal.
He wants a jury trial
If an out-of-court settlement is not reached, Prince Andrew will probably have to answer for a lawsuit in the United States later this year. In newly filed documents in the court of competent jurisdiction in New York City denies Prince Andrew according to “Guardian”of being a “co-conspirator” or close friend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (1953-2019). He also insists on a jury trial. US Attorney Lisa Bloom identified According to the BBC, this demand was a “PR campaign” and explained, Giuffre has already asked for a jury trial.
