Prince Andrew turns off comments on his Instagram amid Jeffrey Epstein fallout

Prince Andrew has turned off commenting on his official Instagram account amid fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse scandal.

It appears the Duke of York — who is among several prominent men accused of sleeping with Epstein’s underage victims — deactivated the feature on his @hrhthedukeofyork account sometime last month.

The account is followed by more than 215,000 people and contains more than 750 posts.

Andrew, the 59-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, was infamously photographed with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre in 2001 — though sources close to the royal has claimed the photo is doctored because his fingers are “much chubbier” in real life.

Giuffre has claimed Epstein coerced her to have sex with Andrew when she was 17, including in London, at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and during an “orgy” at his private Little St. James island in the Caribbean.

The prince has denied her claims.
