Queen Elizabeth II did not meet Virginia Roberts, the woman who has come forward to claim that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was underage.
Roberts, now 30, says she was a “sex slave” of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, and was forced to do whatever Andrew wanted. The prince is a friend of Epstein’s.
There have also been claims that the Queen, the prince’s mother, met Roberts while on a trip to London with Epstein, but Buckingham Palace has insisted that none of the claims are true.
“There is nothing to suggest that this claim is true. We have no record of such a meeting,” a palace spokesman told the Daily Mail.
Virginia’s father Sky, 58, said that he was aware of his daughter’s connection with Epstein but thought things were on the up-and-up between them.
“Mr Epstein seemed an upstanding kind of guy. She would go to his house in Palm Beach but always come home. When he started flying her all over the world we just thought what a life she was having … All Virginia ever said was that she was hired to give massages,” he said.
Virginia says that she was brought into the sex ring through her interest in wanting to become a masseuse, but quickly became more than that.
Her father also recounted how his daughter told him she met the Queen.
“Virginia told me a few years back that she met Prince Andrew when she went to London and she also said while they were there she met the Queen,” he said.
