Journalist SHOCKED after calling Prince Andrew's number listed in Epstein’s ‘black book’
British TV presenter and journalist Ranvir Singh was shocked when she called Prince Andrew's phone after finding his contact number from late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's notorious "little black book."
Singh, 44, heard what sounded like Andrew's voicemail and left a message inviting the Duke of York to an interview. She dialed the number — which was listed with contact details for Sunning Hill, Wood Farm, his Equerry, Balmoral, as well as his Buckingham Palace address — for the upcoming ITV documentary 'Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile.'

“The names and numbers in here are vast, it’s not exactly a little black book by any means," Singh says in the documentary while reading the book. “But one really catches your attention is the one up here and this is for the Duke of York. ’Duke of York, Buckingham Palace London’ his address, it says here and there are numbers for Sunning Hill, Wood Farm, his Equerry, Balmoral. There’s what looks like a mobile phone number on here for him, I’m going to give it a go," she adds.
The call is directed to voicemail before playing a message that appears to be the prince's voice. “I’m afraid I’ve not been quick enough to get to the phone before it went off to take your message," he says. “If you do have a message, please leave it and I will get back to you as soon as I can.” Following the tone, Singh leaves a message saying, "Hello, I think this might be Prince Andrew. This is Ranvir Singh from ITV and we found your number on the little black book and we’d like to have a chat with you if you get back to us, thank you.” Singh subsequently turns to the camera and notes, "That sounded like Prince Andrew’s voice, Prince Andrew’s voice on voicemail?”

Prince Andrew is listed in the black book a number of times, with 16 numbers next to his name, including a cell phone number, and direct lines to Balmoral and Sandringham palaces, where Epstein has previously visited the royal. Andrew's former wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is also named in the 92-page phone book, which was leaked in 2015 by Gawker with 18 phone numbers for her. This comes after the Queen stripped Andrew, her second son, of his royal title and military honors on Thursday amid growing outrage at the Duke of York's sexual assault lawsuit.
Andrew is accused of sexually assaulting former Epstein "sex slave" Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was just 17. A judge gave the go-ahead earlier this month for a civil trial before a jury in New York later this year. That said, the 61-year-old royal has strongly denied any wrongdoing. The prince's lawyers now want to interrogate Giuffre's psychologist to see if his accuser is plagued by "false memories" of meeting him. The lawyers state that their client "contends that [Ms. Giuffre] may suffer from false memories, as evidenced by the fact that her claims regarding her time with Epstein, and the circumstances under which [Prince Andrew] allegedly assaulted her, have repeatedly changed over the years."
The move was swiftly ridiculed by legal experts, who said it was a "typical tactic" used in historic sexual abuse cases. Andrew's friend and Epstein's "madame" Ghislaine Maxwell, 60, has also used it at her trial, the Mirror reported.
'Ghislaine, Prince Andrew, and the Paedophile' airs on ITV at 9 pm GMT or 4 pm ET on Tuesday, January 18.
