A prosecutor said Prince Andrew had given 'zero cooperation'.

Lawyers representing alleged victims of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday urged Britain's Prince Andrew to help US investigators, after a prosecutor said he had given"zero cooperation".

"If he's done nothing wrong, which appears to be what he has claimed, then why won't he talk to law enforcement?" But New York attorney Geoffrey Berman, who is leading an investigation into possible co-conspirators of Epstein, said Andrew was yet to respond to a request by the FBI and his office for an interview.

He said he would not normally comment on whether individuals were cooperating but made an exception for the prince because of his statement offering help. The 66-year-old, who befriended countless celebrities over the years including US President Donald Trump, killed himself in a New York jail in August while awaiting trial on new sex-trafficking chargesDetermined to obtain justice despite his death, dozens of women who say they were abused by Epstein have sued his estate while prosecutors have pledged to pursue any accomplices.
