Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, "categorically" denied having sexual contact with an American woman. The woman claims she was forced to have sex with him when she was 17.
"It didn't happen. I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened," Prince Andrew said. "I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever."
The comments were made amid questioning in a BBC News interview about Prince Andrew's links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew said he doesn't regret his friendship with Epstein because of the "the opportunities I was given to learn" from him about trade and business.
