SPEECH TOWNS: Prince Andrew’s party days were so wild that he could easily forget to meet his sex prosecutor, Virginia Roberts, says a close friend
He insisted to the world in his scandalous interview with the BBC that he did not remember meeting Virginia Roberts despite this photo of them together.
And now one of Prince AndrewThe duke’s most loyal friends offered exceptional protection for the duke’s claim – saying that at that time they had spent so much time with partygoers that it would not be a surprise if he had forgotten them.
Michael Win-Parker, a 76-year-old writer and businessman, told me about the couple’s uninterrupted nights together when Virginia Roberts, now Juffrey, claimed she was forced to have sex with the prince when she was 17 after has been maintained by Jeffrey Epstein and Gislane Maxwell.
He says: “In those days we had almost night parties at Tramp or whatever.
“We went to these clubs and there would be 20 beautiful girls.
“Dance with this one, dance with that one. And then you will find yourself in bed with this one.
Michael Win-Parker, 76, (pictured) says he and Andrew are having so much fun with partygoers that it won’t be a surprise if he forgets them.

“I’m sorry to say you may not even remember this man – you know, even five years later.”
It is this carousel of promiscuity, says Win-Parker, that explains why Andrew, 62, failed to remember Juffre – with whom he has now reached an out-of-court financial agreement without admitting responsibility.
Win-Parker adds: “Even if he met her so many years ago, it is very possible that he completely forgot.
“In those days we lived in wild times. Wild times.
At one critical moment, Win-Parker believes that Andrew is innocent. “I have never seen a minor. They were all in their early to mid-30s.
As for Andrew’s claims in his TV interview that he can’t sweat, he says: “I don’t know why he picked this up. I have to regret it.
Win-Parker says Andrew could have saved a lot of injuries to his family and himself if it weren’t for his biggest flaw – “being pompous.”
“I remember the first time I presented him at a reception years and years ago and accidentally patted him on the shoulder. He whispered, “Remember, Michael, who I am, you must not touch me.”
The Duke of York declined to comment.

India Hicks showed grace and balance when she was the bridesmaid at Prince Charles’ wedding in 1981 – but not so much when she was riding her bike near her home in Chilters last week.
She shared the photo, joking that her husband David Flint-Wood “hoped that once we got married, there might be a little more Grace Kelly and a lot less.”
