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.

The Telegraph is reporting Prince Andrew is receiving legal advice from Clare Montgomery QC, the leading expert on extradition law, whose clients have included Augusto Pinochet, Chile’s former dictator and Nirav Modi, wanted for India’s biggest fraud.

Montgomery is widely valued as a pre litigation adviser, providing strategic guidance and advice to companies and individuals caught up in regulatory and criminal investigations, particularly those with an international dimension and where civil, administrative and criminal law problems are present, according to her biography on the Matrix Chambers website.
