>>Duke 'put pressure on officials to cut pal's sentence'

A JEFFREY Epstein victim believes the paedophile's pal Prince Andrew will face a day of reckoning with the release of bombshell court papers.

Full details of claims that Andrew lobbied US authorities to accept Epstein's plea deal in an underage prostitution case will be made public.

The allegations about Andrew's past friendship with the billionaire sex offender may dash all hopes he harbours of a return to royal life.

On Tuesday, a grinning Duke of York, 64, grabbed the limelight by leading the Royals into church to celebrate the life of the late King Constantine of Greece.

TESTIMONY

On Thursday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill allowing the release of grand jury testimony relating to the 2006 probe into Epstein's sex trafficking operation.

The law will grant rare access to the testimony that ultimately led to one charge against Epstein, much to the fury of police and victims.

The paedophile had faced up to 15 years in jail. Instead prosecutors accepted his guilty plea to soliciting a minor for prostitution, despite the FBI finding more than 40 victims.

He was sentenced in 2008 to just 18 months and, after less than a year, he was freed to serve the rest of his time in his Palm Beach mansion in Florida. Months later, Andrew visited the sex offender, staying with him at his Manhattan home.
