Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson’s pals want to see the woman accusing Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her crucified on TV.
Virginia Roberts should be “put on the grill” by BBC’s famed Panorama current affairs program when she is interviewed, friends say, according to The Telegraph.
Roberts was just 15 when she says she was lured into the orbit of sinister serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was a close friend of Prince Andrew.
She claims she had underage sex three times with Andrew when she was 17. He has denied any wrongdoing.

But in the court of public opinion, the Duke of York, 59, has come off as entitled and obtuse, and was cold and remorseless during a disastrous BBC interview.
In the wake of the train-wreck appearance, Queen Elizabeth effectively fired Andrew from his public duties.
Now, Roberts is slated to appear in an episode of Panorama airing Monday. Fergie’s friends are having none of it.
“She (Roberts) should be properly cross-examined on all the evidence that doesn’t stack up,” a friend of the Duchess of York told the Daily Telegraph.
“She should be put on the rack. The BBC cannot drill him as they did and just believe her when there are lots of inconsistencies.”

One niggling point that Andrew’s toff supporters have pointed to is the infamous photo where he has his arm draped around Roberts while Ghislaine Maxwell beams on.
Fergie’s friends are demanding Roberts reveals how much she was paid for the photo. Some of the duke’s friends have suggested it has been doctored.

Fergie reportedly wants to put the Roberts-Epstein affair behind the family ahead of Beatrice’s wedding next year.
There has been some discrepancy over whose brainstorm it was to put the prince in front of the cameras.
Initial reports said it was Fergie and their eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, who pushed Andrew into the interview. But it has also been reported that the pair tried to stop the disaster.
At a recent soiree, Beatrice was said to be sobbing over the implosion of her father’s reputation.
“Beatrice was sombre and makeup-free for the birthday dinner,” a friend told the Daily Mail.
“She was probably worried that her mascara would run. She seemed quite tearful at times. In fact, Beatrice has been in tears every day since the interview went out.”
The prince has denied any wrongdoing but in the BBC chat, admitted he “let the side down” by visiting Epstein in New York after he was released from jail for child sex offences.
Authorities say Epstein, 66, killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

LONDON — British police said on Thursday an allegation against the late financier Jeffrey Epstein regarding trafficking for sexual exploitation would not proceed to a full criminal investigation, maintaining a previously made decision.
Epstein’s suicide on Aug. 10, at age 66, came a little over a month after the well-connected money manager was arrested and charged with trafficking dozens of underage girls as young as 14 from at least 2002 to 2005. He had pleaded not guilty.

London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) said it had received an allegation in 2015 of non-recent trafficking against Epstein and a British woman whom it did not name.
The allegation related to trafficking to central London in March 2001.
It concluded the following year that it would not launch a full criminal investigation as the focus would largely be on activities and relationships outside Britain.

Epstein's 'pimp' Ghislaine Maxwell was 'obsessed with sex'

Ghislaine Maxwell — Jeffrey Epstein’s favoured procurer of underage girls — is “obsessed with sex” and frequently discussed oral sex techniques in public.
Maxwell, 57, has been accused of enabling Epstein’s decades-long sexual abuse of underage girls.
Two of the alleged victims have claimed Maxwell also took part in Epstein’s twisted carnal games.
According to the Daily Mail, one friend claims the leggy brunette — a publishing heiress — had a bizarre “super power” over men.
“I’ve heard that Ghislaine has a new boyfriend. One of her talents if finding a man to take care of her,” Laura Goldman told The UK Sun.

“She’s good at that. It’s like a superpower. Her superpower is she finds men to take care of her… But I get her appeal to guys. All she ever talked about was ‘sex, sex, sex’.”
Maxwell — who has effectively been in hiding since Epstein’s arrest on sex trafficking charges last July — was most recently linked to tech CEO Scott Borgerson, 43.
Borgeson allegedly ditched his wife and two children for the jet-setter.
Epstein, 66, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August.
Who? Me? From left, Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell believes the photo is doctored.
According to court papers, Maxwell allegedly recruited young women to massage Epstein at least once a day. She denied procuring the girls for sex.
It was Maxwell who introduced the filthy financier to the troubled Prince Andrew.
She denied abusing Virginia Roberts who was lured into Epstein’s orbit when she was just 15. Roberts has claimed she had sex three times with Andrew while she was underage.
“What I can say is that I barely would remember her, if not for all of this rubbish,” Maxwell said in video testimony. “I probably wouldn’t remember her at all, except that she came from time to time. But I don’t recollect her coming as often as she portrayed herself.”
Virginia Roberts was 15 when this photo was taken by Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. ATTORNEY
Maxwell reached an agreement with Roberts, who sued her for defamation, in an out of court settlement. She applied to have the interviews sealed.
After her former beau Epstein’s arrest, a judge ruled the documents could be released.
Maxwell denied taking part in the sex abuse.
“I have never participated at any time with Virginia in a massage with Jeffrey. I have been absolutely appalled by her story,” she said.

PRINCE ANDREW: Royals brace for former Epstein sex slave's bombshell interview

Royal silks are expected to be soiled Monday when Jeffrey Epstein’s former sex slave is expected to dish the dirty details of her liaisons with Prince Andrew.
Virginia Roberts will sit for an hour-long interview on the BBC’s Panorama program.
In the first released clip, Roberts — who was just 15 when she was lured into Epstein’s twisted world — repeats her claims she had underage sex with the prince three times.
“It was a really scary time in my life,” she said in the released clip.
“He knows what happened, I know what happened. And there’s only one of us telling the truth.”
Er, uh, uhm. Prince Andrew gives an interview to the BBC on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The Panorama interview comes on the heels of Andrew’s disastrous interview with BBC Newsnight.
Following the interview, the prince’s standing went into freefall as he came off as arrogant, uncaring and obtuse.
The Roberts’ interview was recorded before the Andrew train wreck.
For decades, New York billionaire Epstein preyed on underage girls who he moved around to his various mansions to entertain with wealthy and powerful friends with sexual favours.
He allegedly hanged himself in his Manhattan jail cell in August as he faced a slew of sex trafficking charges.
Now, investigators are probing the fiendish financier’s coterie of enablers. Most prominently, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s so-called “pimp”
Who? Me? From left, Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell believes the photo is doctored.
According to the U.K. Sun, Maxwell has told pals her “biggest mistake” was luring Roberts into Epstein’s sick orbit.
Maxwell and Roberts had duelled in court before when the publishing heiress reached an out-of-court settlement with the young woman over a defamation claim.
But the records were sealed and the leggy brunette hoped her jet-set connections would never see the light of day.
Maxwell was “undoubtedly the brains” behind Epstein’s sex schemes, former friend Laura Goldman told the U.K. Sun.
“Ghislaine was hysterical about the defamation suit Virginia Roberts launched. That suit made her nutso. She saw that as a threat to her whole network of famous friends,” Goldman told the tabloid.
“Ghislaine said her ‘biggest mistake’ was ever involving Virginia. Ghislaine doesn’t give a s*** about the girls like Virginia who suffered, she is more worried about exposing her network.”
She added: “After Jeffrey was arrested the first time back in 2008, I didn’t want anything more to do with either him or Ghislaine after that.”
Prince Andrew was not at any of the parties she attended, Goldman added, but her impressions of the prince were less than glittering.
“I think Prince Andrew is a dolt. He lives in a different world and may well have thought those girls were servants but obviously, they weren’t,” she said.
“He is part of a world of people who think they are entitled to get whatever they want. It’s a different reality to most people. They believe it’s all coming to them and the world owes it to them.”
Maxwell has denied any wrongdoing.

'HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED': Woman dismisses Prince Andrew's denials in royal sex scandal

LONDON — An American woman who says she was forced to have sex with Britain’s Prince Andrew has appealed to Britons to take her side, saying that only she was telling the truth about a scandal that has engulfed the royal family.
Virginia Giuffre says she was trafficked by the disgraced late U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with his friends, including the British prince when she was 17 years old. Andrew categorically denies the allegations.
In an interview broadcast on Monday, Giuffre said she was brought to London in 2001 by Epstein and taken to meet the prince, one of three occasions when she says she had sex with Andrew.
“He knows what happened. I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth, and I know that’s me,” Giuffre told BBC Panorama.
“I implore the citizens in the UK to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being ok. This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked, this is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys’ royalty.”
Story continues below
Andrew, 59, Queen Elizabeth’s second son, has said he has no recollection of ever meeting Giuffre, who was previously named Virginia Roberts.
In response to Giuffre’s interview, a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: “It is emphatically denied that The Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
Last month, the prince gave an interview himself to the BBC which he hoped would draw a line under the scandal.
However, the interview was widely regarded as a disaster for him, provoking days of negative headlines and culminating in him stepping down from royal duties as charities and other organizations distanced themselves.
He said he regretted his “ill-judged” association with Epstein and that he had never seen anything suspicious during the time he spent with the financier. However, he said the media blowback it had generated had become “a major disruption to my family’s work.”
Panorama said lawyers for five of Epstein’s victims, who are suing his estate, want Andrew to give evidence in their court cases and that pre-trial subpoenas had been readied to serve on the prince if he visited the United States.
Andrew has said he would speak to law enforcement agencies if required.
NIGHTCLUB
In her interview, which was recorded before the prince spoke to the BBC, Giuffre said she was taken to the Tramp nightclub in London by Epstein and his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew asked her to dance, she said.
“He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean it was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere,” she said.
Andrew, the eighth-in-line to the throne, said he could not have had sex with Giuffre at Maxwell’s home on the night she alleges because he had been to a pizza restaurant in the commuter town of Woking for a children’s party.
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 Giuffre’s waist.
He said he did not remember the photo being taken and that he had never been upstairs in Maxwell’s house where the image appeared to have been captured.
Giuffre told the BBC the picture was genuine and she had given it to the FBI.
Andrew also said he had stayed at Epstein’s home in New York after the financier had been convicted of Florida state prostitution charges because he was “too honorable” to break off the relationship by telephone and wanted to do so in person.
Those explanations provoked derision and ridicule in newspapers and social media, while the prince was also criticized for failing to show sympathy for the victims of Epstein, who killed himself in a U.S. prison in August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
“The people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses. Like his arm was elongated or the photo was doctored, or he came to New York to break up with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean come on I’m calling BS on this, because that’s what it is,” Giuffre said.

What’s left of Prince Andrew’s reputation was obliterated Monday after former sex slave Virginia Roberts called the randy royal a sweating liar and the worst dancer ever.
Roberts, 35, went on the BBC’s prestigious Panorama program to tell her side of the sordid tale in The Prince and the Epstein Scandal.
At times sobbing, Roberts remained steadfast in telling her story of sexual abuse that began in her childhood.
From left, Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
She first came into vile Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit when she was 15 years old and alleges the fiendish financier sexually shared her with his wealthy and posh pals.
They allegedly included Prince Andrew, who has denied having sex with Roberts — just 17 years old at the time.
She claimed she first met the Prince, 59, in London while out for a night with Epstein, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and the royal.
“We went into the VIP section. There was no waiting in the lines obviously — you were with a prince. Andrew asked me what I wanted to drink, you know, and I said, ‘Oh, you know, something from the bar,’” Roberts said.
“He had something clear. I know mine was vodka and then he asked me to dance. He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life.”
She added: “I mean it was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere. I was just like grossed out from it.”
Bizarrely, Andrew said on his own train wreck of a BBC interview that he was physically incapable of perspiring.
While Roberts may have been royally grossed out, she knew her role.
“But I knew I had to keep him happy because that’s what Jeffrey and Ghislaine would expect from me,” she said.
In the limo back to Maxwell’s home in posh Belgravia, the publishing heiress allegedly whispered to Roberts: “In the car, Ghislaine tells me that I have to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey and that just made me sick.”
Later that evening, Roberts alleged, she had sex with Andrew upstairs at Maxwell’s mansion.
“I didn’t expect it from royalty. I didn’t expect it from someone that people look up to and admire — the Royal Family,” she told Panorama.
“There was a bath and it started there and it led into the bedroom. It didn’t last very long the whole entire procedure. It was disgusting.”
She added: “He wasn’t mean or anything. But he got up and said thanks and walked out. And I sat there in bed — just felt horrified and ashamed and felt dirty.

“I had just been abused by a member of the Royal Family.”
The next day, Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly told her as she patted the teen’s back: “[You] did a really good job … you’ve made him really happy”.
The Duke of York’s own disastrous interview saw him try to justify his friendship with notorious child molester Epstein.
He also intimated the photo of him with Roberts and pal Ghislaine Maxwell could have been faked.
Roberts added that high fliers who turned a blind eye to Epstein’s antics need to give their heads a shake.

“People on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses like his arm was elongated or the photo was doctored or he came to New York to break up with Jeffrey Epstein,” Roberts said.
“I mean, come on. I’m calling B.S. on this because that’s what it is.”
She added: “He knows what happened. I know what happened and there’s only one of us telling the truth and that’s me.”
The show also revealed that after Roberts sued Maxwell for defamation, the panicked prince sent the publishing heiress an e-mail.
Andrew wrote: “Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.”
Maxwell replied: “Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.”
Since his own BBC interview, Andrew, 59, has been stripped of his duties and effectively fired as charities reacted swiftly to distance themselves from him.

Canadian organizations distancing themselves from disgraced Prince Andrew

A prominent member of the Royal Family has little ground left to lose in Canada even as he faces fresh scrutiny and public rebukes closer to home.
Canadian organizations had begun severing ties with Prince Andrew long before Monday night’s bombshell interview with a woman who said she had sex with the prince three times while underage and at the command of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Tuesday, the Queen did not include her disgraced second son as she greeted NATO leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at Buckingham Palace in London.
But Canadian organizations that once welcomed Andrew’s patronage had begun distancing themselves from him in droves since his disastrous interview with BBC last month. The interview, in which the prince denied the allegations, caused public backlash after he failed to express concern for Epstein’s victims, including the woman whose accusations triggered the latest round of criticism.
That woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, spoke out publicly on Monday during a BBC interview in which she described herself as a sex trafficking victim and alleged she slept with Prince Andrew three times while she was 17 years old.

But long before Giuffre’s appearance on BBC Panorama, Canadian organizations that once called the prince a patron were severing ties in light of his own remarks.
“His Royal Highness issued a statement on November 20 declaring he has stepped down from all public duties,” read a statement from the Sick Kids Foundation. “We believe this was important and appropriate for him to do. With that announcement, His Royal Highness is no longer in the role of Royal Patron to SickKids.”
The statement went on to say the foundation, which funds Canada’s largest children’s hospital, was preparing to address the prince’s ongoing connection to the organization at an upcoming board meeting before he opted to step out of the public spotlight.
At around the same time, Canada’s Rideau Hall Foundation announced it would not be renewing an agreement with Pitch@Palace, an initiative started by Prince Andrew to help aspiring entrepreneurs.
“We will continue to support Canada’s incredible entrepreneurs and look forward to other opportunities to celebrate and grow Canada’s culture of innovation,” read a statement issued by the foundation.
Several other Canadian organizations have reportedly ended their associations with the prince in the days after his BBC interview, including Lakefield College School, which has ended Prince Andrew’s term as honorary chair of the school’s foundation board. The prince attended the school for six months in his teens.
But the Prince is maintaining at least one title, according to Canada’s Department of National Defence.

“As is the custom, the Duke of York holds the honorary title of Colonel-in-Chief of The Princess Louise Fusiliers, The Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada and the Queen’s York Rangers,” the department said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Giuffre’s BBC interview breathed fresh life into a scandal that has dogged the Royal Family for weeks.
Giuffre described how she was trafficked by Epstein beginning in 2001 and made to have sex with Andrew three times, including once in London.
“This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked, this is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys’ royalty,” Giuffre told the program.
Andrew, 59, has categorically denied having sex with Giuffre and apologized for his association with Epstein, who died in prison in August in what New York City officials said was a suicide.
In the TV interview, Giuffre said she danced with Andrew at a London nightclub before having sex with him.
“It was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me,” she said. “His sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere, I was just like grossed out from it, but I knew I had to keep him happy because that’s what Jeffrey … would have expected from me.”
In his recent interview, Andrew said he had never met Giuffre. He said he had a medical condition that prevented him from sweating.

The father of a former Jeffrey Epstein sex slave and the woman now accusing Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her thinks the fiendish financier was murdered.
His statements come in the wake of Virginia Roberts’ BBC interview where she called the prince sweaty and a bad dancer.
And accused him of having sex with her three times when she was 17.
Epstein — who masterminded an international sex trafficking ring — died in his Manhattan jail cell in August. The official cause of death was suicide by hanging.
Andrew stuck by convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, right.
Sky Roberts told Good Morning Britain that he believes Epstein was murdered to keep him from naming names.

“I’m furious,” Roberts told the Brit gabfest.
“To know now what I know now about Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. [Ghislaine] Maxwell and several others, I’m sure that’s why Jeffrey Epstein is not alive right now because someone did not want to see his books or whatever he’s got on everybody.”
He added: “I know he didn’t kill himself. It had to be somebody from above that came and got him and took him out.”

The now-married mother of three said Epstein and his alleged pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, lent her to high-powered pals for sex.

“I know she’s telling the truth. My daughter is — she’s a good girl, she really is,” Roberts said. “She’s really brave to be going through all of this.”
But he worries about the same powerful men and women who abused her may want Virginia dead.
“Yes, I do fear for Virginia’s safety. There’s a lot of powerful people alive now, but she’s just telling the truth,” he added.
He said he had no idea Virginia was being systematically sexually abused.

Prince Andrew May Be Forbidden to Appear in Church on Christmas Day - Report
Almost all members of the British royal family attend a religious service on Christmas Day at St Mary Magdalene Church, near Queen Elizabeth II’s private country house in the parish of Sandringham, in the east of England, where crowds gather to celebrate the holiday.
Royal courtiers are considering blocking Prince Andrew from appearing in church this year on Christmas Day due to the likelihood of protests at the event, The Sun newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing a source.
In November, the 59-year-old Prince Andrew announced that he would drop out of the public eye for the "foreseeable future" following a BBC Newsnight interview which highlighted his close friendship with convicted American paedophile Epstein, who is claimed to have taken his own life in a New York prison while awaiting trial on charges of running a sex-trafficking network.

Prince Andrew May Be Forbidden to Appear in Church on Christmas Day - Report
Almost all members of the British royal family attend a religious service on Christmas Day at St Mary Magdalene Church, near Queen Elizabeth II’s private country house in the parish of Sandringham, in the east of England, where crowds gather to celebrate the holiday.
Royal courtiers are considering blocking Prince Andrew from appearing in church this year on Christmas Day due to the likelihood of protests at the event, The Sun newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing a source.
“There are discussions about Christmas day and a desire from many courtiers for Prince Andrew to stay away from the church, where he would be pictured with the rest of the family. There are now genuine concerns over sex abuse campaigners planning to be part of the crowds to jeer the Duke publicly,” the source reportedly revealed.
The source also purportedly said that the protests would not become violent, as they are likely aimed to cause “further embarrassment” to the royal family over the close association previously enjoyed between the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.“They know the world’s media would be there and it would end up dominating headlines of the day,” the source is reported to have said.
Although the concerns are thought to be reasonable, some fear that Prince Andrew may insist on attending, as he is a full-right member of the family.“The Queen is already deeply upset about this situation because she loves her son very much. It is hard to believe she would ever be able to bring herself to tell Andrew not to come, given they attend church together all the time,” the source is said to have added.
The source is also claimed to have said that they hope the Duke of York will realise the consequences of being the subject of a public protest on Christmas day and choose on his own to “stay away”.In November, the 59-year-old Prince Andrew announced that he would drop out of the public eye for the "foreseeable future" following a BBC Newsnight interview which highlighted his close friendship with convicted American paedophile Epstein, who is claimed to have taken his own life in a New York prison while awaiting trial on charges of running a sex-trafficking network.
HANDSY ANDY: Prince reportedly 'particularly fond' of two women massaging him

A new report claims that embattled Prince Andrew was “particularly fond” of having two young women massage him at the same time.
Andrew also allegedly was known to encourage slinky models to sit on his lap at high society soirees.
The new claims come in the wake of the Duke of York’s disastrous TV interview and Virginia Roberts detailing her alleged underage sexual relations with him.
An anonymous former pal told online magazine Airmail that the prince was notorious at parties.
“Sexy young models” would cuddle with him and call him “Andy, darling.”
From left, Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
A woman named Lucy who dated the prince told the online magazine “(Andrew) said he was particularly fond of four-handed (massages), where two women work on you at the same time.
“When the mention of a foot massage came up in the (BBC) interview, I immediately thought, ‘Yes, that’s him.’”
While she said the prince was “always gentlemanly,” he was also consistently tight-fisted and had a reputation in high-flying circles as a cheapskate.
“I suggested one evening that we go to the cinema. He said, ‘Great, how many tickets have you bought?’ I was slightly taken aback, so I said I would buy two, but he said we would need seven in total to include his security,” Lucy said.

The latest allegations come hot on the heels of statements made in court papers by Roberts in August resurfacing, claiming Andrew’s pal and Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “pimp,” Ghislaine Maxwell, also had sex with underage girls “virtually everyday.”
Publishing heiress Maxwell has denied any impropriety.
In court in 2015, Roberts was questioned: “It is your contention Ghislaine Maxwell had sex with underage girls virtually every day, correct?”
Roberts replied: “Yes. There’s a lot of girls that were involved.”
Epstein, 66, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell last August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The news comes after the royal denied sleeping with Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was underage at 17.
Both Andrew and Giuffre gave TV interviews in England, and the Duke of York’s was so disastrous to his credibility that he announced his resignation from royal life.
As RadarOnline.com has also reported, Andrew’s brother Prince Charles and his son Prince William were involved in the decision.
Andrew moved out of Buckingham Palace after the scandal.

The embattled Prince, 59, could also reportedly lose his royal mansion.
The Duke of York’s 30 room Royal Lodge estate will be scrutinized as an investigation into the prince’s finances is conducted, according to a former member of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee.
Andrew has denied having slept with Giuffre years ago at the Belgravia home of Ghislaine Maxwell — who is accused of trafficking in young women for Epstein, the financier who killed himself in prison.

Giuffre claimed sex with Andrew was “quick and disgusting” and left her full of shame. She alleged Maxwell told her the next day she’d done a good job.
There is no indication that the second woman claims to have been coerced into having sex with Andrew.
However, the second woman, who has not been named, has communicated with lawyers who are representing Epstein’s other alleged victims, The Mirror has noted.
It is being decided whether these allegations will form part of a lawsuit against the late Epstein’s estate and a “rigorous investigation” is underway, sources for the British publication have said.
Though Andrew has denied the Giuffre allegations and insisted he never even met her, the Sun on Sunday has reported he’s kept in touch with Maxwell.

Maxwell reportedly visited Buckingham Palace in June as a guest of Andrew.
“They have remained constantly in touch by phone and email. The Duke has an unswerving loyalty to Ghislaine and she is also very loyal to him,” a source told the publication.
“Ghislaine will do anything to protect the Duke and the feeling is mutual. They both share the same view they have done nothing wrong.”
“Andrew has always been very stubborn and as far as he is concerned both he and Ghislaine have done nothing wrong and so why should anything get in the way of a friendship that has lasted more than 20 years,” the source added.
Lawyers for the estate and for its executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, did not immediately respond to the Mirror’s requests for a comment on the second woman’s allegations.
Buckingham Palace did not comment.

Princess Beatrice has cancelled her engagement party with fiance Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi after her dad Prince Andrew’s Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the Mail on Sunday has reported.
According to the British publication, Prince Andrew’s disgrace has affected his daughter’s wedding plans.
The Mail on Sunday previously revealed that Beatrice, 31, sent out invitations to friends for her engagement bash at the club in London on Dec. 18.

But now, a source said, “Bea has had to change the date of her engagement party at the Chiltern Firehouse because of fears there will be too many photographers outside — looking for Prince Andrew.”
Now it’s unclear when and where the bash will actually take place.

Friends had originally feared that the venue choice was far too high-profile given the royal family dealing with Andrew’s disgrace.

Beatrice and financier Mozzi announced their engagement in September, but they haven’t set a wedding date.
According to the Daily Mail, the holdup is because royal family members haven’t yet agreed on a venue.
And now the situation is also complicated by the shadow surrounding Andrew.
Mozzi previously had a baby son with then-girlfriend Dara Huang.
Following Mozzi’s split from Huang, he and Beatrice began a relationship, moved in together, and the Princess will be stepmother to the little boy, Christopher, nicknamed “Wolfie.”

EPSTEIN VICTIMS: 'Their whole lives revolved around sex'

Some of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein gathered for a chat with Glamour.CASSIE BASFORD / GLAMOUR
No one would want to be a member of this club.
But five disparate women joined together for a roundtable with iconic glossy magazine Glamour to discuss the nightmare they all endured — and barely survived.
The five have one thing in common: All were victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s vile sex trafficking apparatus.
The 66-year-old billionaire hedge fund manager apparently killed himself in August while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in a Manhattan jail cell.
In his wake, a nearly daily barrage of stories has targeted the dead convicted pedophile, his pimp/mistress Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew.
Story continues below
From left, Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
“We are normal people, living our normal lives,” Rachel Benavidez told Glamour.
“But we’re dealing with something huge.”
Also included in the group are Virginia (Giuffre) Roberts, Teresa Helm, Marijke Chartouni, and Sarah Ransome.
Roberts is the best known, recruited as a masseuse for Epstein when she was just 15-years-old by Ghislaine Maxwell.
She went public in 2015, claiming she was sexually abused by Epstein and his high-powered pals.
“My whole life revolved around just pleasing these men and keeping Ghislaine [Maxwell] and Jeffrey [Epstein] happy. Their whole entire lives revolved around sex, ” she said in her deposition.

Helm was 22. A massage therapist, who thought she was having a job interview that eventually turned sexual.
She remains traumatized by the incident.
For two years, Benavidez, a young massage therapist was hired to work at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch. And then the abuse started.
Chartouni was 20 when Epstein and one of his assistants took off her clothes and sexually assaulted her. Ransome was 22 and recruited into Epstein’s operation in New York in 2006.
“We are not just the stories,” Helm said.
Roberts — who has claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew three times when she was underage — said she made the decision to come forward in 2010. The day her daughter was born.
Andrew stuck by convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, right.
“When I saw her, that was the turning point. That was when I said, ‘We’ve got to do something. We’ve got to hold these people accountable’,” she said.
She added: “This is not an American problem. It’s an international problem. Because once upon a time, it was totally cool to marry a 12-year-old or a 14-year-old.”
The women agreed that one of the things they need to mend is an acknowledgement of the nightmare they lived through.
Ransome wants to see people go to jail.

“I want [them] in prison. That’s what I want. Until I get to do those little visits there to prison, wherever [the perpetrators] are, so I can be like, ‘Surprise! Hello’,” she told Glamour.
“They’re still a danger to the public. I want something. Ghislaine [Maxwell] is still walking the streets. Jean-Luc [Brunel] is still walking the streets. It’s not good enough just to be heard.”
And if the Epstein pedophile coterie isn’t stopped?
“They will move to Brazil, France, South Africa, and perpetrate there. Because if they’re not [stopped], they’re gonna continue to hurt more and more girls. So, that’s what needs to change. These people need to be behind bars, where they can’t hurt anybody else,” Ransome added.
