		</div><p>The father of the Duke of York’s accuser has said he knows she is telling the truth.</p>
<p>Andrew is facing fresh scrutiny after Virginia Giuffre’s first UK television interview was aired as part of a BBC Panorama investigation into the duke’s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Ms Giuffre claims she was trafficked to London by Epstein and forced to sleep with the duke when she was a teenager, which Andrew categorically denies.</p>
<p>She spoke of how she was left “horrified and ashamed” after the alleged encounter in 2001, saying: “One thing that I can tell you is you never forget the face of someone who has heaved over you.”</p>
<p>She claimed she danced with Andrew in Tramp night club, adding he was “the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life” and “his sweat was … raining basically everywhere”.</p>
<p>Her father, Sky Roberts, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I know she’s telling the truth. My daughter is, she’s a good girl, she really is.”</p>
<p>He added: “I feel really sorry that all this happened, but it did happen and Prince Andrew should pay for it.”</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#39;I know she&#39;s telling the truth. She&#39;s really brave to be going through all this and to come up against these powerful people.&#39;</p>

<p>Mr Roberts expressed his support for Ms Giuffre.</p>
<p>“At the time she was going through it, I had no idea,” he said.</p>
<p>“I love my daughter very much. She’s really brave to be going through all this and to come up against these powerful people.”</p>
<p>The royal family will be out in force at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, at a reception hosted by the Queen for Nato leaders including US President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>But Andrew will be missing, having quit public life in the wake of his disastrous Newsnight interview in which he sought to address Ms Giuffre’s claims.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said at the US ambassador’s residence when asked about the duke stepping down from royal duties: “I don’t know Prince Andrew, but that’s a tough story, it’s a very tough story.”</p>
<p>A Buckingham Palace spokesman said in response to the allegations on Panorama: “It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”\<br />
