Prince Andrew hires 'formidable' lawyer amid FBI probe
into Jeffrey Epstein links
By Lee Brown
New York Post - March 8, 2020 | 1:13pm
-
Prince Andrew has hired Britain's “most formidable”
extradition lawyer to protect him against an FBI inquiry into his
late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports.
The Duke of York was publicly slammed by US
authorities in January for repeatedly failing to cooperate with
the ongoing investigation into Epstein's alleged sex trafficking
ring.
He is still so worried about being forced to talk, he is
now hiring an “eminent team of lawyers” to “fend off” the FBI,
according to the Daily Telegraph.
The 60-year-old royal's legal team is led by Clare
Montgomery, one of the UK's leading extradition lawyers who
has represented world leaders, including former dictator
Augusto Pinochet, the Telegraph says.
Montgomery charges $1,300-an-hour and has been
described as “the most formidable member of the bar,” the
Telegraph said, referring to a chamber of the British legal
system.
Andrew also directly hired Gary Bloxsome, a criminal
defense solicitor who works international cases — and is a
crisis-management specialist, the Telegraph says. “He's as
sharp as a blade, he's absolutely brilliant,” one acquaintance
told the paper.
Assembling the team shows just how “hugely
seriously” the duke is taking the threat of legal moves to make
him talk, says the Telegraph, which believes it is the first time
the royal family has needed to use such a powerful team of
criminal lawyers.
Andrew was forced to step down from royal duties last
November over his disastrous attempts to justify his ongoing
friendship with Epstein even after he was convicted of sex
crimes.
The royal has however always vehemently denied
knowing about Epstein's depraved behavior. He also denies
knowing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was made to
have sex with the prince three times, starting when she was just
17.
Epstein, 66, hanged himself in a Lower Manhattan
lockup Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on federal! sex trafficking
charges.
Buckingham Palace told The Sun it does not represent
Andrew as he is no longer a working royal.

MEG PECKED
Harry WON'T make up with William despite Diana statue unveiling as he 'can't afford to upset Meghan', biographer claims
1§ Despite the brother's united front at the unveiling of the statue honouring their late mother Princess Diana, Harry made a sharp exit after the ceremony.
2§ The pair seemed in sync as they tugged the green curtain draped over the touching artwork but he left just 20 minutes later after raising a glass of bubbly to Di.
3§ He dashed back to the US to be with his wife Meghan Markle, Archie, and newborn daughter Lilibet - which royal commentator Angela Levin suggested is because "he does what he's told."
4§ But the author isn't holding her breath for a reconciliation, as she told The Andrew Pierce Show, "I think whatever Harry decides Meghan will change it."
5§ "She will make it a negative thing to happen, and I don't see that there will be a long-term progress there.
6§ "I think there will be some nasty comments about it, perhaps William pulled the green cloth harder than Harry," Ms Levin joked.
7§ "Seriously, it is a very big thing, what Harry has done, said about William, the Royal Family, and his father, and the Queen."
8§ Prince Harry and Wills have not seen each other since Prince Philip's funeral in April and have been embroiled in a bitter feud about Harry's bombshell comments about the Royal's in interviews with chat show host Oprah.
9§ "You can't just brush over that. You can put a plaster on it for half __ hour but you can't really get rid of that unless there's a huge amount of conversations over a long period of time."
10§ "And Harry does what he's told," Ms Levin continued.
11§ "If Meghan tells him how __ make a statement, he'll make it, and that's it.
12§ "He can't afford now to upset Meghan because he would feel such a failure and a misery and she'd give him what for, really. I think there's no chance __ that."
13§ Diana's sons were seen laughing and joking on Thursday afternoon surrounded by their late mother's family in the Sunken Garden for the unveiling.
14§ The pair even mirrored each other's body language as they strolled in, before being welcomed by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, their former private secretary, who is godfather to Prince George.
15§ Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the mastermind behind the bronze memorial said Diana "was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry."
16§ Harry and William chose some of Diana's favourite flowers to be planted by the statue, including 100 forget-me-nots, 200 roses, 300 tulips and 500 lavender plants.
