Virginia Giuffre’s Lawyer Says Andrew Has an 'Obligation' to Tell What He Knows: 'He's Afraid'
While Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, Virginia Giuffre's lawyer suggests he has a moral obligation to cooperate with the law.
The newly released tranche of Epstein files continues to rattle the British monarchy, and Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies isn’t letting up on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Speaking with Piers Morgan, the high-profile lawyer claimed that the former Duke has critical knowledge about the disgraced financier’s operations that needs to be shared with the authorities. Even though he has consistently denied any wrongdoing, Boies suggests the disgraced royal has a moral obligation to speak up and start cooperating with the law.
On Piers Morgan Uncensored, the 84-year-old legal veteran argued, “He’s got an obligation to tell what he knows.” Boies admitted that Mountbatten-Windsor is probably afraid of being arrested in the US. To tackle that, he suggested creating an unprecedented legal olive branch, offering the former Prince a ‘safe passage’ to America so he can testify without the fear of handcuffs. “Now, I also think that if he’s afraid of being arrested in the United States. We ought to give him safe passage to come to the United States to testify, because we don’t want there to be any excuse for him not coming and telling what he knows,” he remarked.
Boies further discussed the mystery surrounding the former Duke’s testimony, revealing that his legal team settled the case just moments before his scheduled deposition. While the full extent of what Mountbatten-Windsor knows remains a secret, Boies argued that his closeness with the late financier proves he ‘knows a lot.’ “I don’t think anybody knows how much he knows, but we know he knows a lot from his contact, and whatever he knows, even if it was a little bit, he has an obligation to share that,” the law veteran told Morgan.
The lawyer’s comments come at a time of exponentially escalating public interest as thousands of pages of court disclosures linked to the Epstein case are released into the public domain. While Mountbatten-Windsor reached a multi-million dollar out of court settlement with Giuffre – a sum allegedly paid by the late Queen and King Charles – there was no admission of liability from his side. Even so, the pressure on him isn’t just coming from legal circles. In fact, the Royal Family is also drawing a firm line separating itself from the former Prince’s contentious past ties.
In a decisive move, Buckingham Palace released a statement highlighting Charles’s profound concern,’ as well as noting that his “thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse.” The spokesperson also made it clear that if the family gets approached by authorities concerning the former Duke, they would ‘stand ready to support’ the police if necessary. This shift in tone is said to have been intensified after Thames Valley Police announced that they are assessing details regarding Mountbatten-Windsor’s past role as a UK trade envoy, with emails suggesting that he shared confidential reports to Epstein within minutes of receiving them.
In a recent update, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has confirmed that officers from three separate forces, Thames Valley Police, the Met, and Surrey Police, are now working ‘collectively’ to review the Epstein files and understand if a full-fledged criminal investigation is warranted in the Andrew-Epstein case.
