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.
Prince Andrew released an extensive statement in regards to his connection with Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday, where he states he saw Epstein 'infrequently'.
“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. This is particularly the case in relation to my former association or friendship with Mr Epstein.
“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."
“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."
Prince Andrew's statement continued: “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 know now. I have tremendous sympathy for all those affected by his actions and behaviour."
On Tuesday Virginia's lawyer, Brad Edwards slammed Prince Andrew's statement stating that he had extended an invitation to the royal to answer "real questions".
“With respect to Prince Andrew or anyone else who has made a gratuitous statement, if anyone who wants to come over here and talk to us and answer real questions that the victims have and that we have on their behalf we welcome that," Mr Edwards said.
“I’ve personally extended that invitation to Prince Andrew multiple times.
“Any time we are ready and we have a lot of questions for him.”
