PRINCE Andrew believes he is fine as long as the letter where he bonds with Jeffrey Epstein about their shared love of underage girls has not surfaced.
The discovery of an email from the Duke of York sent in 2011, a year after he claimed to have cut off contact with Epstein, saying ‘we are in this together’ and ‘play some more soon’, has left him unperturbed because it is far from the worst.
He said: “It was on official Palace paper as I recall, bearing the Royal crest. One must do these things properly.
“I said, to the best of my recall, ‘I certainly enjoyed my visit to your island where I had congress with a number of girls I knew were under the legal age and had been trafficked. Mm-mm, what a treat!’
“‘Don’t worry about being charged with solicitation of prostitution. Your real friends, like myself, Bill Clinton and Donald J Trump, have always been aware this is who you are. And we love it.’
“‘Anyway, just for the avoidance of doubt I, like you, am an enthusiastic paedophile. Or as you spell it ‘pedophile’. Same crime though! Yours, His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, Duke of York.’ Then my signature, my seal and my fingerprints in red ink.”
“I hope that one doesn’t get out. But if it did I could easily clear it all up and restore my image by doing a second interview with the Maitlis woman.”
