Previously unseen segments from a 2019 television interview have been made public, featuring detailed accusations from a woman who was a central figure in a high-profile abuse and trafficking case. The broadcast coincides with the recent removal of a senior royal from his official residence and the stripping of his royal titles by the monarch.
In the newly released footage, the woman describes being instructed by two now-convicted associates to provide sexual services to the royal figure following an evening out in 2001. She stated the directive made her feel ill, expressing particular dismay that it came from someone in a position of public esteem and duty.
“You hear all these excuses,” she said in the interview, dismissing various defenses that had been offered publicly about a controversial photograph. “But he knows what occurred. I know what occurred. Only one of us is being truthful, and that is me.”
Her account in the interview aligns with descriptions published posthumously in her memoir, where she wrote of the royal’s apparent eagerness and of feeling like an object to be “passed around.” She emphasized the profound personal impact, noting the perpetrator was a father, which she found particularly difficult to reconcile with his alleged actions.
The woman, who died earlier this year, also compared the behavior of the two convicted associates, describing one as taking a disturbing pleasure in the discomfort and suffering of others.
The release of this interview material has intensified scrutiny around the royal figure, who has consistently denied all allegations. The loss of his titles and residence marks a significant fall from grace within the institution.
