The former general manager of a South Wales coal mine is claiming that he saw Prince Andrew romping with 4 or 5 mine workers during an official royal visit in the 1980s.

 

Daffyd Llewelyn, 87, told reporters that the Queen's son slipped away from the party of dignitaries, who were giving him a conducted tour of the pit near Llandudno, and began having sex with 5 miners who were on their lunch break.

 

"At first everything was going very well and Prince Andrew seemed genuinely interested as I pointed out various coal seams and explained how some of the machinery operated. Then he spotted a few of the lads having their tea and sandwiches and told me he was just  going over for a quick chat. Before I could prevent him, he took his trousers off and started having sex with the boys one after the other. I tried to pull him off but he was too strong.

 

"After he'd finished he just acted as if nothing had happened and asked me if I could show him round the canteen. I must confess I was pretty taken aback by his behaviour. At the end of the day it's not the sort of thing you expect from a royal is it?

 

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson strongly denied Mr Llewelyn's claim last night. Speaking to reporters at the palace gates, he said: "There is absolutely no truth in this claim whatsoever. On the day in question His Royal Highness was on holiday in Mustique with a party of bricklayers from Cardiff"
