Prince Andrew has been knee-deep in scandal since before Christmas and he is even allowing his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to help fight his battle for him. A woman named Virginia Roberts has alleged in a civil suit that admitted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein used her as a sex slave for various high-profile men, and one of those accused men is Andrew. Roberts has claimed that she was forced to have sex with the prince on three different occasions, all when she was under 18.
Ferguson sat for an interview on this morning's, Jan. 13's, Today show, and during the segment she insisted to Matt Lauer that her ex has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide.
"I will have not one word said about him on any level, any level. I went to stand by him because I know what it feels like to have salacious lies made up about you," she said, calling the claims "just shockingly accusatory allegations."
Ferguson also called Andrew "a great father and a humongously good man" and noted "all the work he does for Britain."
"I won't stand by and let his character be defamed to this level," she said.
The royals usually choose not to comment much on salacious allegations that are made against one of their own. The fact that they have already issued a few statements denying that Prince Andrew ever used Roberts, an underage girl, as his sex slave is interesting in and of itself. The palace usually takes the high road and lets things just roll off their backs, so why do you think they are fighting back so much against these allegations? Do you think Andrew might have had a few sessions with this woman, not realizing her true age all of those years ago? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
