Queen Elizabeth did not lack in reminding Prince Andrew to do the right thing, according to women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred, who is representing Jeffrey Epstein's 16 victims.
Speaking on the chat show Loose Women, Allred believes that Her Majesty has encouraged her son to talk to the U.S. authorities about Epstein's cases. She thinks that Queen Elizabeth has not failed to advise her son, especially after the Duke of York brought embarrassment to the royal family.
Allred said that honor and duty are the hallmarks of royalty but because of Prince Andrew's friendship with Epstein, he brought shame to his mother and the royals. The lawyer expressed that he can help bring justice to Epstein's victims if he would only talk.
The lawyer said it is obvious Prince Andrew has relevant information to the case. She knows that the royal can shed light on the sex trafficking charges lodged against Epstein and his alleged pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, because he was a frequent guest of the billionaire in his various homes.
Allred also said that it's not okay for Prince Andrew to delay the proceedings as he continues to shun the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice. She said that Duke of York needs to answer questions, even if he has to do this in the U.K., and not a submit a prepared statement as his lawyers have proposed.
Prince Andrew said, almost a year ago, that he was willing to cooperate with the U.S. authorities but the sit down has yet to happen. Allred commented in another interview that it seems the Duke of York wants the invitation from the FBI handed to him on a silver platter by his footmen.
Allred said that if the royal was willing to cooperate then he would have made the meeting ASAP. The lawyer accused the Duke of York of playing "cat and mouse" with the FBI.
Prince Andrew became key person in the Epstein case after the billionaire took his life in prison, while waiting for the trial. Maxwell, on the other hand, was arrested in June after a year of hiding from the authorities.
One of Epstein's women also revealed that she had intimate relations with the Duke of York, at least three times, when she was just 17. Prince Andrew denied the accusation in an interview with BBC and said that he has never met his accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
