Sources have confirmed the Queen s second son was indeed a guest at the paedophile tycoon s Manhattan home in April 2001
Andrew, 60, told Newsnight s Emily Maitlis last year: I wasn t staying there. I may have visited but definitely didn t, definitely, definitely no, no, no activity
Well-placed sources have confirmed Andrew stayed at Epstein s £60million home on the final night of his pre-Easter visit to the US in 2001 to save taxpayers money
But the insiders stressed that neither Epstein, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell nor Miss Roberts were at the property at the time
The Duke of York today drove to Windsor Castle and headed out for an early morning horse ride, hours after the Daily Mail revealed he stayed at Jeffrey Epstein s New York mansion during a trip when it is alleged he slept with a trafficked teenager.

She added: We had a picture taken. Virginia, another girl there, sat on a chair and had the puppet on her lap. Andrew sat on another chair. I sat on his lap and he put his hand on my breast. Ghislaine put the puppet s hand on Virginia s breast. Then Andrew put his hand on mine. It was a great joke. Everybody laughed . . . Ghislaine . . . had a very dirty sense of humour.
