Prince Andrew offered $9m to take Epstein lie detector test

Prince Andrew has been offered millions to take a polygraph test about his relationship with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew is being offered millions to come to the US and take a public polygraph test about his relationship with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Investigative journalist Ian Halperin is offering £5 million ($A8.9 million) to the British royal “to come clean and take a polygraph test with a world-leading polygraph examiner,” he tellsPage Six.

Halperin wants to quiz Andrew, 61, about claims from Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was brought from the US to Britain at age 17 to have sex with the Prince in 2001.

In an interview with the BBC’s Newsnight, Giuffre said of Andrew, the Duke of York, “I knew I had to keep him happy, because it’s what Jeffrey and Ghislaine [Maxwell, Epstein’s then-girlfriend] would expect from me.”

Andrew has strongly denied all claims of wrongdoing.

Halperin alleged in his latest book, Controversy: Sex, Lies, Dirty Money, that the British royals deliberately threw the media glare on Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry to divert from Andrew’s links to Epstein.

Halperin said of his lucrative offer to Andrew — who despite not having worked in a while doesn’t appear to need the money: “I am giving Andrew a chance to finally clear his name.

“I am offering 5 million pounds to Prince Andrew to come clean and take a polygraph test with a world-leading polygraph examiner.

“If he passes, my investment group will hand him over £5 million pounds.”

Halperin insists he has the cash and alleged: “I’m part of a global investment group to stop child sex trafficking.”

Halperin’s book had alleged Andrew was a “sex addict” and a “daring lover,” according to women who claim they were intimate with the British royal after being introduced by Epstein.

Halperin said, “One of Andrew’s ex-lovers said he had a sex addiction because he was always second to Prince Charles … He compared his relationship with his brother … to William and Harry.

“William is looked at as royal material, just like Charles, whereas he and Harry were the bad boys … This led to his playboy lifestyle. He wasn’t getting attention; it made him feel special to get these beautiful women in his bed.”

Halperin has said he uncovered no evidence that Andrew — who has strongly denied allegations that he slept with Giuffre — had sex with underage women.

In late 2019, Prince Andrew issued a public statement saying he would be willing to help American law enforcement with their investigation into allegations of sex trafficking by Epstein and his associates.

FBI agents and federal prosecutors in New York reached out to his lawyers and asked to interview him, but there was no response.

Then in January 2020, the United States lawyer in Manhattan publicly called out the Prince for breaking his commitment.

“To date, Prince Andrew has provided zero co-operation,” prosecutor Geoffrey S. Berman said.

A spokesperson for Prince Andrew did not immediately get back to Page Six.
