Well, that's a convincing rebuttal isn't it. Might just have well coughed as he addressed the issue, to smother his words. I wonder if he took a leaf out of Tony Blair's dodge book?

Quote:Prince Andrew breaks cover in Davos to publicly deny 'sex slave' allegations
There was an unusually high turnout for the royal's annual appearance at the World Economic Forum
JAMES ASHTON
DAVOS
Thursday 22 January 2015
Before British business leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Prince Andrew said: "For the record I refer to events that have taken place in the last few weeks. I just wish to reiterate and to reaffirm the statements which have already been made on my behalf by Buckingham Palace.
His voice noticeably shaky, he added: "My focus is on my work and this evening's reception allows me to tell you about just a couple of the initiatives I have founded and am passionate about."
After addressing the allegations in the introduction to his speech an almost unprecedented step for a senior royal the prince made no further mention of them as he went on to talk about his work promoting entrepreneurs.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
