Prince Andrew s accuser Virginia Giuffre has told the BBC she felt ashamed after allegedly having sex with the Duke of York when she was a teenager as she claimed powerful people were my chains.

Giuffre on Monday explained to the Panorama programme how she was trafficked by the since-disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with the royal in 2001. Andrew categorically denies he had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Giuffre, who was then known as Virginia Roberts.

These are five of the key moments from the now 35-year-olds first UK television interview.

1. THE PHOTO

Giuffre said people were coming up with ridiculous excuses to explain an infamous photograph that appears to show her with Andrews arm around her.

She told Panorama the photo was genuine, and that she had given the original to the FBI in 2011.

She added: The people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses, like his arm was elongated or the photo was doctored.

I mean Im calling BS on this. He knows what happened, I know what happened. And theres only one of us telling the truth.
