Prince Andrew has to bare his buttocks

Last night it was announced that the U.S. Department of Justice will interrogate Prince Andrew as a witness in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Grist to my mill, because I haven't been able to find the word that captures what I felt when I saw the disillusioning BBC interview with him. How many lies can you wallow in?

Just a summary: in the Epstein documentary, Virginia Roberts, now Giuffre, says that she had to have sex with Prince Andrew multiple times. She was introduced to him by, yes, there she is again, Ghislaine. I-know-nothing-about-all-Epstein-abuse-and-was-my-dirty-little-hands-in-innocence-Maxwell

who played her fun little guessing game. ‘Guess how old Virginia is?’ she asked him. When it turned out that Virginia was still delightfully underage and ‘Wow, just as old as my daughters,’ Andrew became even more uncomfortable than he already was. In horror, Virginia recounts the nightclub they went to and Andrew's sweat pouring over her. Ghislaine even instructed her to do the same with Andrew as she normally did with Jeffrey Epstein.

There is a witness statement from someone who worked for Epstein (‘I saw Andrew rubbing up against this woman by the pool’) and there is even a photo showing Andrew's grabby fingers around Virginia's waist.

But Andrew was not to be caught off guard. That statement about the sweating was totally ridiculous because ‘I wasn't sweating during that period.’ Yes, that was indeed a strange story, but due to what he had experienced as a pilot in the Falkland Islands, he was traumatized which led to a sweat blockade. Wow. Dude.

And what about that photo? He had no idea about that either. No idea. He didn't know that woman. Never seen her either. How come he was in the photo with her? Very strange.

Man, just say you're a prince and that everyone wants to take a photo with you. That's also a lie, but it sounds somewhat plausible.

And what about those testimonies? Do you think a woman just stands up and accuses you? Do you really think Virginia Roberts wants to make herself that vulnerable? In front of the whole world?

By the way, Prince Andrew also had a watertight alibi. That evening Virginia is talking about, exactly that evening he was in a takeout pizza restaurant with his daughters. Yes, that restaurant obviously can't confirm it because it's takeout, but it was really so.

Your legal team has once again issued new cowardly statements about why you haven't been open and honest before. You were always the victim of insinuations.

But now your approach would change. Andrew, I really hope so. Especially for Virginia, for women in general, and also for your daughters. Because man, I would be so ashamed of a father like you.
