Previously unreleased segments of a 2019 television interview have been made public, featuring detailed allegations from a woman who was a minor at the time. The broadcast coincided with the recent removal of a senior royal figure from his official residence and the stripping of his royal titles and military affiliations.
In the newly surfaced footage, the woman describes being instructed by two other individuals to engage in sexual acts with the royal figure following an evening at a nightclub over two decades ago. She stated the directive made her feel physically ill, expressing particular dismay that it came from someone in a position of public stature and trust.
“I just didn’t expect it from royalty,” she said in the interview. “I didn’t expect it from someone who people look up to and admire.”
The woman forcefully dismissed various public defenses that had been offered over the years regarding a controversial photograph of her with the royal, calling such explanations false. “He knows what happened. I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth,” she asserted.
In her account, she described feeling like an object to be “passed around,” while emphasizing her humanity and trauma. She noted the particular cruelty of the abuse, given that the individual had daughters of his own.
The interview also contained comparisons between the two associates who facilitated the abuse, with the woman alleging that one was, in certain respects, “more physically abusive” and seemed to take pleasure in the inflicted distress.
These televised claims align with allegations published in the woman’s memoir, released after her death earlier this year. In the book, she wrote of being trafficked to numerous powerful men and described the royal figure as being “eager” to engage with her.
The airing of this previously withheld material has intensified public scrutiny of the longstanding scandal, following the recent decisive actions taken against the royal figure’s status.
