Prince Andrew sex case claim denied | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Buckingham Palace has denied "any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors" by Prince Andrew, after he was named in US court papers. | |
A woman named him in documents she filed in a Florida case against financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex offences in 2008. | |
She claims that between 1999 and 2002 she was forced to have sex with the prince when she was a minor. | |
The palace said it would not comment in detail on the legal proceedings. | |
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "This relates to long-standing and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States, to which the Duke of York is not a party. | |
"As such we would not comment on the detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with under age minors is categorically untrue". |
