A former Royal protection officer at Buckingham Palace told The Mail on Sunday in February that he believed Andrew may have returned to the Palace in the early hours of March 11, tử cấm thành bắc kinh 2001 - the night in question.

Evidence that could prove or disprove Prince Andrew (pictured)'s 'alibi' for the night he allegedly had sex with Virginia Roberts in 2001 are lying in a police office in Sidcup
Virginia Roberts alleges she was coerced by paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein into having sex with Andrew in London when she was 17, one of three occasions she claims she was intimate with him.
The Duke of York has strongly denied having any sexual contact with Ms Roberts.
In the exclusive interview with the MoS, the Royal guard said Andrew returned to the Palace in his car early one morning and allegedly harangued officers for not opening the gates quickly enough.
The officer suspects the episode, which he said was logged, happened on March 11, 2001.
He asked the Metropolitan Police on February 22 this year to be given access to his personnel file containing the duty logs for that night.

Andrew was asked about the events of March 10-11, 2001, during his infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis last November.

Last night a spokesman for Prince Andrew declined to comment. The Met also declined to comment.
Epstein ‘bragged that he tried to entice Clinton into Jagger orgy'
From Caroline Graham in Los Angeles
Depraved Jeffrey Epstein once bragged about taking Bill Clinton to an orgy where Mick Jagger was having sex with a group of women.
The late paedophile alleged that the incident happened in 2002 while he was ferrying the former US President around Asia on his private jet known as the ‘Lolita Express'.
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz claimed Epstein, one of his former clients, was present when the Rolling Stones frontman ‘had a party in his room with lots of young women and lots of sex'.

Mr Clinton allegedly walked in, but said, ‘No, no, no, this is not my thing', before leaving.
The extraordinary anecdote appears in a new book called A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein', out next week.
In it, journalists Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper detail the connections between Epstein and Clinton, who knew each other from the early 1990s.
Epstein donated to Clinton's presidential campaign and later gave $10,000 to the White House Historical Association while the Clintons were refurbishing the White House.
That led to a meeting which blossomed into a friendship when Clinton left office in 2001.
Mr Dershowitz is quoted as saying: ‘Epstein told me that story. Obviously there were lots of people there and whatever Clinton did, he didn't do it in public.'
Mr Clinton (pictured) is believed to have said 'no, no, no...this is not my thing' when he entered the room where Jagger was having the party with many women
Clinton, whose affairs included an infamous relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, took four trips on the Lolita Express between 2002 and 2003 to promote his Clinton Foundation.
One of them was to Africa when other passengers included actor Kevin Spacey and comedian Chris Tucker.
On board the trip to Asia was Epstein, his alleged madam, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Clinton's adviser Doug Band and two others, according to flight logs.
On May 22, 2002, they took off from a naval facility in Japan and landed in Hong Kong. The next day they flew to Shenzhen in China, and the same day flew on to Singapore where they stayed two nights.
On day four of the trip, they went to Bangkok before flying to Brunei where Clinton and his team disembarked and tử cấm thành bắc kinh Epstein flew on to Bali.
In early 2002, Jagger was preparing for the Rolling Stones Licks Tour, but that would not begin until August.

In extracts already made public, A Convenient Death claims that Clinton was having a relationship with Maxwell. The book also alleges that his daughter Chelsea Clinton ‘continually brought Maxwell closer' to her family and even went on holidays with her.
Ms Clinton invited Maxwell to her wedding in 2010 where the socialite was photographed looking at her as she walked down the aisle.
The photograph later landed Maxwell in trouble when she told lawyers acting for Epstein's victims that she was not able to give a deposition on that date as she was out of the country.
Representatives of Sir Mick and Clinton did not respond to requests for comment.
Among the other anecdotes in the book are a claim that when Epstein was found dead in his cell last August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, Maxwell commented: ‘It may be for the best.'
The claim comes from Laura Goldman, a former stockbroker turned freelance journalist who was once convicted of stalking a former lover.
The book also features a rare public comment from Epstein's brother Mark, who hired an independent pathologist to be present during his autopsy.
Dr Michael Baden concluded that Epstein could have been killed because of the way his collar bone was broken.

The official cause of death was suicide by hanging but Mark Epstein says that the orange noose the authorities claimed his brother used does not look as if it had been cut, contradicting the account of a prison guard who said he cut the body down.
‘If you look at the picture of the ligature, it was not cut and it doesn't look like it was tied to anything,' he said. ‘Look at the angle of the ligature. It was a hemmed edge. It was not cut.'
Dr Baden says in the book: ‘All that Mark wants to know is, what's the accurate cause of death and if indeed his brother committed suicide.'
Meanwhile, a fund to compensate Epstein's victims may soon begin making payouts after the millionaire's estate agreed terms with his accusers.
