The photograph shows Andrew with Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, inside what is said to be the house of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell in Belgravia, London. In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Andrew said while he recognises himself in the picture with Ms Giuffre, he claimed it is not possible to prove whether the image had been faked. If I'm going overseas.” Asked by presenter Emily Maitlis if the picture had been faked, Andrew said: “Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored but I don't recollect that photograph ever being taken.” He denied remembering having his arm around Ms Giuffre's waist, adding: “I'm terribly sorry but if I, as a member of the Royal Family, and I have a photograph taken and I take very, very few photographs, I am not one to, as it were, hug and public displays of affection are not something that I do. “So that's the best explanation I can give you and I'm afraid to say that I don't believe that photograph was taken in the way that has been suggested.” Andrew made the comments during an interview about his links to paedophile Epstein, who was found dead in his New York prison cell earlier this year as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
