Virginia Roberts lodged fresh documents at a Florida court saying her lawyers had served an extraordinary letter on the Duke last week requesting he answer questions about their sexual interactions - but he 'refused' to accept it. The letter offered to interview the prince under oath 'at a time and place of your choosing'. The latest documents filed at Palm Beach court house in Florida make plain Miss Roberts's determination to pursue the Prince - who she said 'I just called "Andy".' Miss Roberts also issued a stinging attack on 'false and hurtful' denials of her claims made by Andrew in the tumultuous past three weeks.

Six-year wait for £9m 'whitewash': 179 British men and women sacrificed their lives in the Iraq war. Yesterday their loved ones branded Chilcot delays an insult to their memories
Families of soldiers killed in Iraq last night condemned the 'disgraceful' decision to further delay the Chilcot report. Six years after the £9million inquiry started - and 12 years on from the 2003 war - bereaved parents said they were expecting a whitewash. The delay is said to be linked to individuals, including Tony Blair, being given the chance to respond to criticism of them in the report. Pictured: Corporal Simon Miller (left) and Lance Corporal Tom Keys (right) who were among six military policemen killed by an Iraqi mob in 2003, and Fusilier Gordon Gentle (centre), killed when his military convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in Basra in 2004.

Kym Marsh (centre), who plays Michelle Connor, was left in tears after his speech while Barbara Knox (left), who plays Rita Tanner, looked devastated. The Coronation Street stars - including Anthony Cotton (centre, in between Marsh and Knox), who plays Sean Tully - had chosen not to walk the red carpet at the ceremony.
REVEALED: The 14 ingredients in McDonald's FRIES - including a petrol-based chemical and form of silicone found in Silly Putty
'Potatoes, thank goodness, that's a good start,' former Mythbusters host Grant Imahara says as he goes on to reveal the 13 other ingredients contained in a humble McDonald's fry. The TV personality traveled to the fast food chain's potato processing plant in Idaho to see the production process from start to finish. During his investigation he found that dimethylpolysiloxane - a form of silicone found in Silly Putty - is used in the making of McDonald's fries along with a petrol-based chemical called tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). However, he reassureds viewers that these are both used for perfectly good reasons.

Je suis graffiti: Parisian artists use city as a canvas to create lasting tributes to victims of Charlie Hebdo massacre
In the wake of the tragedy, artists have used the walls of the city to tell the magazine's survivors they have the backing of Parisians. Following the deaths of 12 people in the siege on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the slogan 'Je suis Charlie' has been a symbol of support for freedom of speech. On Wednesday January 7, Said and Cherif Kouachi stormed the magazine's offices and murdered 12 people, including staff and police officers.
