Pizza Express reportedly held an internal inquiry into claims made by former Prince Andrew about a visit to the chain’s branch in Woking, Surrey. The investigation is linked to allegations that Andrew had sex with Virginia Giuffre, who says the encounter took place on 10 March 2001, in London. In an earlier BBC interview, Andrew denied the allegation and said he could not have been in central London at the relevant time because he was at Pizza Express in Woking. According to the BBC, senior management considered it in the public interest to test the alibi offered by the former Duke of York. The reported findings indicate that there is no evidence that Andrew was at the Woking restaurant on the day in question, while also stating that investigators did not find definitive proof that he was not there. The accounts also describe the inquiry as an attempt to check whether the visit supporting his claimed whereabouts could be substantiated.
