Prince Andrew has been accused of using a Spitting Image puppet of himself to grope two of Jeffrey Epstein's sex slaves, shocking court documents have revealed.
The stunning accusations are from Virginia Roberts, who claims the Duke of York had sex with her when she was 17.
They were revealed after New York Judge Loretta Preska released an unpublished manuscript of a book written by Roberts, now Giuffre.
In it, she alleges that Epstein and his 'madam' Ghislaine Maxwell presented Andrew with a Spitting Image puppet from the satirical TV show in April 2001.
He then used the puppet to grope Roberts and Johanna Sjoberg in Epstein's opulent first floor study in his New York home, dubbed the 'House of Horrors', before being taken to 'the dungeon' for an erotic massage from Roberts.
The Duke has always strenuously denied having sex with Roberts and any other wrongdoing, though he is yet to comment in the latest allegations.

Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.
In bombshell documents revealed by the Mirror, Roberts wrote in her unpublished book that she was summoned to the property by Maxwell.
She wrote: 'Prince Andrew had that notorious cheesy grin slapped over his face, as he looked me up and down like a shiny new car on display and he was about to take it for a test drive.
'Ghislaine led me to the decadent sofa he was lounging on and twirled me around to give him a good look over before sitting me down on his lap.
'It was easy to give them the reaction they desired, all I had to do was pretend to be entertained by their lewd gestures, and when Andrew cupped my breast with a doll made in his image, I only giggled away.'
She added that another woman, Johanna Sjoberg, was also made to sit on Andrew's lap and was also fondled with the puppet.
Sjoberg has previously described the encounter with Andrew and his Spitting Image puppet.
She made the comments in a 2016 deposition in Roberts' civil defamation case against Maxwell, from which the newly released documents are taken.
Sjoberg said on oath: 'I sat on Andrew's lap... they took the puppet's hands and put it on Virginia's breast, and so Andrew put his on mine.'
Afterwards, Roberts claims that she was forced to take the Duke to 'the dungeon' for an erotic massage, describing how Andrew 'disrobed' and showed signs of 'arousal'.

The latest claims come after a royal insider dismissed a new witness's claims Prince Andrew was in a nightclub with Virginia Roberts on the night he is accused of having sex with her and not at Pizza Express.

Shukri Walker claimed the duke danced and chatted with the Jeffrey Epstein victim – and says she is certain it was the prince because she stepped on his foot and then apologised.
But today a royal insider dismissed her claim, telling MailOnline: 'It's interesting to see how many people have razor sharp recollections of events that took place some 20 years ago – it's difficult to believe that these events can be remembered with such clarity at this distance.'
Miss Roberts, 36, says she was forced to have sex with Andrew after they left the Tramp nightspot in central London in 2001.
The prince denies the claims and says he was not even in the Mayfair club on the evening in question because he had taken daughter Beatrice to Pizza Express in Woking, Surrey.
The events of March 10 are at the heart of the allegations against Andrew. Miss Roberts – now Giuffre – was a 'sex slave' of the duke's friend, paedophile Epstein.
Miss Walker told The Sun: 'I remember him dancing and chatting with the young girl.'
She said she remembered the night well because at one point she trod on Andrew's foot.
Miss Walker said she had decided to speak out after seeing Andrew's now infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis last year, in which he denied having sex with the then 17-year-old Miss Roberts.
She contacted Lisa Bloom, an American lawyer who represents some of Epstein's victims. The lawyer has reportedly passed on the witness account to the FBI.
