Prince denies he had sex with minor

Britain’s Prince Andrew has spoken out publicly for the first time to deny allegations he had sex with an under-age teenager.

Looking resolute and calm as he addressed leading politics and business figures at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos, he said he wanted to “reiterate and reaffirm” Buckingham Palace statements dismissing accusations, made in US court documents, that he had sex with a woman on three separate occasions when she was a minor.

Lawyers for Virginia Roberts, a mother of three now in her 30s, have filed a letter in a Florida court addressed to the duke at Buckingham Palace, asking him to take part in a two-hour interview.
