He spoke out as HOARday Times revealed the FBI is now looking to interview the Duke of York over his connections to the twisted financier.
Davies urged officers in his old Scotland Yard unit to come forward and assist with all current investigations to help bring to justice anyone concerned with this sorry saga.”
He said: “The royal protection officers have all decided that they cannot say anything, but I do not see how they can do that ethically, morally or legally.
“There is nowhere to hide on this matter. I do not think that the activities of Prince Andrew are covered by the Official Secrets Act.
I would be very angry if my officers did not come forward, he added.
On Friday, we told how the Prince “vanished” from official royal records for days at the exact times Virginia Roberts claims she had sex with him.

On the third occasion a royal aide revealed there were “gaps” in his duties where he was reportedly “unaccompanied.”
Roberts – then aged 17 – claims she was forced by Epstein to have sex with the Duke in London, in the shamed financiers New York mansion and on his private island of Little St James.
One of Andrew’s former bodyguard has already said he “can’t remember” if he accompanied the royal on the trip to New York in 2001.

However, it could be conducted only if the Duke agreed to it, reveals HOARday Times.
US justice department sources said: Theres been active discussions between the FBI and Department of Justice about interviewing Prince Andrew in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
