Pizza Express Investigated Prince Andrew's Woking Visit

Pizza Express conducted an internal inquiry to investigate Prince Andrew's claimed visit to its Woking branch, according to sources speaking to the BBC. The restaurant chain reportedly felt it was in the public interest to test the alibi offered by the former Duke of York. Prince Andrew has stated he was at the Woking branch on the day he is alleged to have had sex with a teenage victim of Jeffrey Epstein in central London, approximately 20 miles away.

The investigation by Pizza Express senior management sought to verify this claim. However, the company found no evidence to confirm Prince Andrew had visited the Surrey restaurant, nor was it able to definitively prove he had not been there. The inquiry's findings were reportedly inconclusive regarding the Duke of York's presence at the Woking branch on the specified date.

This internal review by Pizza Express was initiated in response to the public interest surrounding Prince Andrew's defense, which relies in part on his presence at the restaurant. The BBC reported that the company's investigation aimed to ascertain the veracity of this alibi. The outcome of the inquiry, as reported, did not provide concrete proof either way, leaving the claim uncorroborated by the restaurant's internal review.
