He says: “I remember that call clearly. She was terrified. His voice trembled all the time.
Mr Figueroa adds: “I was also absolutely terrified that something would happen to him. We talked about Diana’s death. This man was so powerful, he was literally a prince,” indicates the British media.

Virginia Giuffre’s ex-partner, whose posthumous memoir was published last week, reportedly told her: “I don’t know what I could do. What can I do? He is a prince!”
Prince Andrew’s main accuser in the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly escorted from South Florida to the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell. This is where the controversial photo of the prince with him was allegedly taken.
Prince Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
