Pizza Express quietly launched an internal investigation into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor actually visited its Woking branch on the night he claimed in his disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, and the probe came up empty.

Senior managers at the pizza chain, believing the matter was one of public interest, searched through records and attempted to track down staff members who had worked at the Surrey restaurant back in 2001. The effort hit a wall almost immediately. The branch manager from that period had since left the company and could not be located. No records surfaced to confirm the visit, and crucially, none emerged to rule it out either.
The alibi that defined a scandal
During his widely criticised Newsnight interview, Mountbatten-Windsor offered the Woking Pizza Express trip as an explanation for why he could not have been with Virginia Giuffre on the night she alleged he sexually abused her. Giuffre was one of the victims of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The claim became one of the most scrutinised alibis in recent British public life, widely mocked at the time for its unusual specificity.
BBC Newsnight, which conducted its own fresh research into the claim, found no record of anyone seeing Mountbatten-Windsor at the restaurant that evening. The investigation revisited the 2019 interview in light of newly released Epstein files and a separate development earlier this year: Thames Valley Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was subsequently released under investigation.
Where things stand now
Mountbatten-Windsor did not respond to a request for comment on the Pizza Express findings. He has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
The revelation that the pizza chain itself felt compelled to investigate the claim adds an unusual layer to a saga that has already reshaped public perception of the former prince. The fact that its inquiry produced no evidence either way means the alibi remains exactly what it has always been: unverified.
