Update: Prince Andrew has Fergie out briefing the media again.
Here’s what “friends” told The Telegraph, the Royal family’s choice for sycophantic coverage.
“Repeated requests by US lawyers to interview the Duke of York over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein are little more than “PR stunts” at his expense, a friend has claimed.
The Duke has been advised not to respond to such requests, they said.
David Boies, a lawyer who represents more than a dozen of Jeffrey Epstein victims, claimed Andrew has ‘not been prepared to co-operate’.”
But the victims’ lawyer gives the Duke of York some handy legal advice, which will probably go unheeded.
According to The Daily Mail, Andrew, who vehemently denies all claims of wrongdoing, has hired Clare Montgomery, one of the UK’s leading extradition lawyers. Her former clients include the Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Asked about her appointment, Mr Boies said: ‘It’s not that I don’t appreciate why he wants to lawyer up – I do appreciate that. But if he could step back and look down the road and focus on what’s the endgame.
‘If I avoid extradition, do I really want to have this hanging over my head and my family’s head for the rest of my life? Do I want my epitaph to be I succeeded in escaping justice?’
