Prince Andrew reportedly used foul and shocking language but Buckingham Palace denied it.

The Duke of York has finally addressed the controversy that has been plaguing him for months due to his connections to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Many were surprised that the Duke of York spoke up. Following his controversial BBC interview, a former staff claimed that Prince Andrew used the n-word.

According to Rohan Silva, a key aide to David Cameron on the tech economy, the “offensive incident” happened in 2012 during a conversation with Prince Andrew about trade policy. Silva asked Sarah Ferguson’s husband whether the government department “could be doing a better job.”

“Well, If you’ll pardon the expression, that really is the [explicit] in the woodpile,” the duke reportedly said. Also, Prince Andrew told him that one will “never get anywhere by playing the white man.”

Silva recalled that he was reeling at the prince’s use of shocking and foul language. He found himself blinking into the sunshine outside the Buckingham Palace after their conversation and admitted that he regretted his choice of not confronting the royal about his choice of words.

“For a long time afterwards I kicked myself for not confronting the prince on his choice of words — and it’s something I still regret today. After all, he clearly wasn’t taken to task very often by the people around him, which meant offensive language went unchallenged,” Silva added.

However, Buckingham Palace stood by Prince Andrew and denied that the Duke of York used the language. According to the palace’s spokesperson, the Duke of York would never use such word.

Prince Andrew’s recent interview about the Epstein scandal was deemed a bad move by many royal fans. According to royal correspondent Peter Hunt, Prince Andrew’s interview was his attempt to convince the public that he never didn’t have sex with Virginia Roberts, but he felt that by doing so Queen Elizabeth II’s reputation would be at risk.

Another netizen felt that Prince Andrew ruined Princess Beatrice’s upcoming wedding. Some even feared that due to his controversy there might be protests on his daughter’s big day.
