Buckingham Palace is currently dealing with a huge amount of press attention in light of shocking allegations made against Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

Will and Harry’s uncle, who was once married to the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson and shares two daughters with her, has been accused of having sex with an underage girl.

Virginia Roberts has come forward with claims that she was forced to have sexual relations with Prince Andrew in the late 1990’s. The reports initially surfaced in 2007, but the story has come to light again in recent days.

The 54-year-old royal will be flying home from a skiing trip in Switzerland today to plead his innocence to his mother, the Queen.

A spokesman for the accused has said: “It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”

Virginia claims she was used as a sex slave by both the royal and other men and it seems her father is determined to get justice for his daughter, saying: “I don’t care if he is prince or pauper. If what Virginia said is true he has to pay the consequences.”
