Andrew sex allegations - time for the King to act?
Virginia Giuffre's memoir - 'Nobody's Girl' - claims Prince Andrew felt ‘sex with me was his birthright’. He has denied all allegations that he had sex with the then 17 year old, but do the Epstein links again threaten the wider reputation of the monarchy?

But what do the British public think about this ongoing and ever more upsetting saga?
