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.
He is still so worried about being forced to talk, he is now hiring an “eminent team of lawyers” to “fend off” the FBI, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The 60-year-old royal’s legal team is led by Clare Montgomery, one of the UK’s leading extradition lawyers who has represented world leaders, including former dictator Augusto Pinochet, the Telegraph says.
Montgomery charges $1,300-an-hour and has been described as “the most formidable member of the bar,” the Telegraph said, referring to a chamber of the British legal system.
Andrew also directly hired Gary Bloxsome, a criminal defense solicitor who works international cases — and is a crisis-management specialist, the Telegraph says. “He’s as sharp as a blade, he’s absolutely brilliant,” one acquaintance told the paper.
Assembling the team shows just how “hugely seriously” the duke is taking the threat of legal moves to make him talk, says the Telegraph, which believes it is the first time the royal family has needed to use such a powerful team of criminal lawyers.

P
Ping!
Why would anyone cooperate with an FBI investigation after what we have learned over the past few years?
Who’s footing that legal bill, will run into hundreds of thousands if not more.
This has all the makings of a BBC made for TV soap opera.
That would be a killer defense. Demand 100% proof Epstein killed himself, due to the fact there is no guarentee that the FBI wont have him commit suicide the same way Epstien did. Then go down the litney of all the crap they did to frame Trump. It would be easy to destroy the FBI’s credibility.

Who’s going to roll first? Andrew or Ghislaine? One suspects there’s quite a bidding war going on behind the scenes.
The Royals = a bunch of web footed inbreds
Right?
Martha Stewart was a wake up call on that.
I can’t believe that Prince Andrew is in any real danger of being arrested. Royal privilege and all that. As long as he just stays on palace grounds, he’ll be fine. Maybe he could take up a hobby, like learning how to speak Arabic. That’ll come in handy in England soon enough.
As for Ghislaine, dead gal walking.
Don't you remember the public resignations of dozens of FBI agents and officials following the proof that their once-respected organization had become a corrupt, politicized tool of the Democrats?
Neither do I.

Smile Prince you’re on candid camera.
He is his Mother’s favorite child, and likely she is paying the best defense attorneys on the planet.
Saw a tabloid headline today that stated he tried to kill himself, but didn’t succeed.
