## Resource

Pizza Express carried out an internal inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s infamous claim that he was at its Woking branch on March 10, 2001 — the same date Virginia Giuffre alleged she was sexually abused by him after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew used the Woking visit during his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview as part of his denial, saying he had taken Princess Beatrice to a children’s party there and remembered it because going to Pizza Express in Woking was an unusual thing for him to do. According to the BBC’s reporting, Pizza Express checked what it could, including records and former staff, but found no evidence proving he had been there — and no evidence definitively proving he had not. BBC Newsnight also revisited the claim and found no record of anyone seeing Andrew at the restaurant that day. The BBC tried to get answers from the Metropolitan Police about whether royal protection officers had accompanied him, but the Met refused to confirm or deny whether it held relevant information, citing national security and protection issues. So the bottom line is brutal: one of Andrew’s most famous Epstein alibis remains unsupported by any clear public evidence, and the most visible attempt to test it appears to have come not from police producing a clean answer, but from Pizza Express itself trying to verify whether the former royal was ever actually in that Woking branch. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Pizza Express held inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Woking claim
