PRINCE Andrew has “shut the door” on voluntary co-operation with the US authorities, according to the attorney Geoffrey Berman.

The Queen’s third child had previously said he was “willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations” into paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew had previously said he would cooperate with the investigation

At a press conference today, Mr Berman, the US Attorney for SDNY (Southern District New York) said: “Contrary to Prince Andrew’s very public offer to cooperate with our investigation into Epstein’s co-conspirators, an offer that was conveyed through press release, Prince Andrew has now completely shut the door on voluntary cooperation and our office is considering its options.”

It was revealed earlier this week the Prince, 60, had hired the leading extradition lawyer Clare Montgomery to fend off the FBI probe into his links with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
