An American news anchor has been caught on camera claiming that she had an explosive interview with a woman who claims Prince Andrew had sex with her as a teenager, but that the interview never aired because Buckingham Palace “threatened us a million ways”.

Amy Robach, a 46-year-old presenter with the ABC network, was filmed between live on-air segments discussing the interview.

“I am so pissed right now,” she told an off-camera person. “Every day I get more and more pissed right now, because it’s unbelievable what we had. I had it all, three years ago.”

She said that she had an interview with Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, who was recruited by Jeffrey Epstein as a young girl working at the Mar-a-Lago resort and became his sexual slave. She was “lent out” to friends of Epstein’s, she claims, and had sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17.

The Prince has always strenuously denied her claims.
