Is his "alibi" wobbling? Prince Andrew's alleged involvement in the Epstein scandal is making headlines again.

Can't Princess Beatrice (32) remember whether she brought her father, Prince Andrew (60), to a "Pizza Express" birthday party in March 2001? This is what the "Daily Mail" claims. Prince Andrew had given the celebration as an "alibi" for the day on which he is alleged to have met Virginia Roberts Giuffre (37) in London. Giuffre, who is believed to have been a victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (1953-2019), claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew several times. The first time she was 17 years old. The British Royal denies all of the allegations.

In an interview with the BBC last year, the son of Queen Elizabeth II (94) stated that Giuffre's story could not be true because he was with his daughter on March 10, 2001 at a birthday party. According to research by the Daily Mail, his daughter is said to have "absolutely no memory" of whether he was there. This is claimed, citing an anonymous source. The princess is said to have declared that she was in this "Pizza Express" more often and could not remember all the dates.

What do the witnesses say?

Insiders also claim, according to the Daily Mail, Andrew supposedly had a manicure at home on his schedule that afternoon. In the family who hosted the birthday party, no one remembers whether Andrew was there or not. The bodyguard, who was with the Royal that evening, is said to have passed away, according to the Daily Mail.

Giuffre claims she partied with Prince Andrew in a nightclub that night before returning to Ghislaine Maxwell's, 58, London home. Maxwell is currently in custody in the USA, she was a confidante of Epstein and an acquaintance of Andrew. Among other things, she is accused of helping Epstein abuse underage girls. A photo believed to have been taken in their home shows Andrew putting an arm around Giuffre. The Royal had stated: "Investigations that we have carried out could not prove whether the photo was forged because it is a photo of a photo of a photo."

Prince Andrew resigned from his royal offices in November 2019 after he was severely incriminated by his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and he failed to credibly refute his involvement in the scandal in the disastrous BBC interview.
