London - Buckingham Palace said that Prince Andrew is "appalled" over the Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse claims, following the publication of images of the duke of York at Epstein's New York home in 2010.
"The Duke of York has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes," read the statement emailed Monday to The Washington Post. "His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent."
The cache of court documents included a photograph of the prince with his arm around the waist of Virginia Roberts, then 17, who claimed that she was paid by Epstein for sexual encounters with the prince. The photograph first appeared in the British press in 2011. Andrew has long been dogged by questions over his friendship with Epstein. The two reportedly first met in the late 1990s, introduced by Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite who accusers say was Epstein's girlfriend and madam.
