Picture that haunts Prince Andrew is seen in full for the first time

Of all Prince Andrew’s calamitous errors of judgment, few are as damaging as his decision to pose for a photograph with his arm around Virginia Roberts, the fingers of his left hand skimming the 17-year-old’s bare waist. The Duke of York, pictured with solicitor Paul Tweed in Country Antrim in September, has tried to suggest that the image was somehow faked and that the fingers are not his Prince Andrew has come under mounting pressure since his interview on BBC Newsnight a week ago Until this meeting, she had simply not considered the picture’s significance. Pictured: Prince Andrew enjoys a party at Tramp nightclub just 72 hours after Virginia Roberts's claims that she danced with him there when 'he was grabbing my hips' By Charlotte Wace and Ian Gallagher for The Mail on Sunday Deep in conversation with a female friend, Prince Andrew enjoys a party at Tramp nightclub just 72 hours after Virginia Roberts’s claims that she danced with him at the same venue when ‘he was grabbing my hips and… pouring with perspiration’. Whether Andrew stayed to the end is unknown but asked during his BBC interview last week about his ‘party Prince’ reputation, he replied: ‘Well, I think that’s also a bit of a stretch. When asked during the Newsnight interview whether he remembered dancing at Tramp on March 10, Andrew replied: ‘No, that couldn’t have happened because the date that’s being suggested I was at home with the children.’ Asked how he was so certain of this, the Duke replied: ‘On that particular day that we now understand is the date which is the tenth of March, I was at home, I was with the children and I’d taken Beatrice to a Pizza Express in Woking for a party at, I suppose, sort of four or five in the afternoon.’
