Prince Andrew’s lawyers have raised questions about the now-infamous picture of the British royal posing with sex slave accuser Virginia Roberts.
WATCH: Sex slave’ Virginia Roberts claims Prince Andrew ‘knows what he’s done’.
The Duke of York’s legal team has requested to see the original image to assess its authenticity after Andrew insisted he has “absolutely no recollection” of the picture being taken.
According to the Evening Standard, sources linked to the 59-year-old Prince say there is possible cause to question the authenticity of the image as the hand around Roberts’ waist “does not look right.”
“Look at his fingers in the photo. The duke has quite chubby fingers, they don’t look right and nor does the height of the duke and the girl,” the source states.
“I understand his legal team have asked to have proper sight of the original photograph so they can carry out their own investigation as they seriously doubt its veracity.”
Virginia Roberts was one of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein‘s most well-known alleged victims and has maintained she was given to Prince Andrew, going on to have sex with the Prince three times.
Billionaire, Epstein killed himself whilst awaiting trial in prison earlier this month.
In a dramatic statement outside New York’s Southern District court in Manhattan on Tuesday, Roberts declared that the son of Queen Elizabeth “knows exactly what he’s done”.
“He knows what he has done and he can attest to that.
“He knows exactly what he’s done – and I hope he comes clean about it.”
Roberts has claimed she slept with the Duke of York three times, giving detailed accounts of the times and places – a claim that both Buckingham Palace and the royal has vehemently denied.
