		</div><p>Prince Andrew has denied he ever suspected “any behaviour of the sort” from convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.</p>
<p>Breaking his silence following a string of media reports about his alleged links to the financier, who killed himself in prison two weeks ago, Andrew released a statement expressing “tremendous sympathy” for Epstein’s victims.</p>
<p>He also reiterated that it was a “mistake” seeing Epstein, 66, after the American’s release from an 18-month prison term in 2010 for prostituting minors.</p>
<p>In a statement, Andrew said: <em>“It is apparent to me since the suicide of Mr Epstein that there has been an immense amount of media speculation about so much in his life.</em></p>
<p><em>“This is particularly the case in relation to my former association or friendship with Mr Epstein.</em></p>
<p><em>“Therefore I am eager to clarify the facts to avoid further speculation.</em></p>
<p><em>“I met Mr Epstein in 1999. During the time I knew him, I saw him infrequently and probably no more than only once or twice a year. I have stayed in a number of his residences.</em></p>
<p><em>“At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction.</em></p>
<p><em>“I have said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release in 2010 and I can only reiterate my regret that I was mistaken to think that what I thought I knew of him was evidently not the real person, given what we now know.</em></p>
<p><em>“I have tremendous sympathy for all those affected by his actions and behaviour.</em></p>
<p><em>“His suicide has left many unanswered questions and I acknowledge and sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure.</em></p>
<p><em>“This is a difficult time for everyone involved and I am at a loss to be able to understand or explain Mr Epstein’s lifestyle. I deplore the exploitation of any human being and would not condone, participate in, or encourage any such behaviour.”</em></p>
