A judge has ruled that Prince Andrew’s US lawyer can be served with legal papers in a sexual assault case filed by Virginia Giuffre in New York.
It follows a dispute over whether the prince has been formally notified of the civil claim against him.
New York judge Lewis Kaplan ruled Ms Giuffre’s lawyers could take the US route to serve papers on the prince.
Ms Giuffre, 38, claims she was sexually assaulted by the prince at three locations including New York City.
The appearance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the cover of TIME magazine as part of a list of the “100 most influential people” has drawn equal measures of laughter, criticism and polite but mystified applause on both sides of the Atlantic.
Prince Andrew has been served at his home in Britain with the paperwork for the bombshell lawsuit from his accuser who sued him in a US court.
According to a document filed on Friday, an affidavit of service was served at the Duke of York’s home in Windsor, England on August 27.
An agent working on behalf of Virginia Roberts, who claims she was forced to have sex with Andrew when she was 17, handed them over to police officers at the property.
Andy gets served and the Queen likes BLM – bad day for the monarchy.
The Queen’s personal representative in Greater London has claimed that the Royal Family support the Black Lives Matter movement.
Sir Kenneth Olisa, the first black Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London, was asked if the Royals support BLM by Channel 4 News and, according to The Telegraph, responded that “The answer is easily yes”.
Scandal-plagued Prince Andrew reportedly is “hiding” from the lawyers of Virginia Roberts Giuffre and his army of guards have blocked “multiple attempts” to serve the royal with legal papers.
Harry and Meghan sink to all-time low in UK ‘favorability’ rating
And just in time for fall sweeps!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “favorability” rating has fallen to a new record low, according to pollsters YouGov.
According to the group, which queried 1,667 UK adults ranging in age from teens to seniors, Markle is liked by 26 percent of the British population and disliked by 65 percent, which squares to a net approval rating of –39 percent.
Charles ain’t exactly loved either according to the poll.
The US has put pressure on Britain in a bid to force Prince Andrew to co-operate with investigators over sex abuse claims, it has been reported.
Investigators probing the case of Ghislaine Maxwell and other associates of dead billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein are said to want to speak to the Duke of York about his friendship with the paedophile financier.
Officials from President Biden’s government reaffirmed the US and UK’s ‘close relationship’ when it comes to offering ‘legal assistance’ in criminal matters amid growing frustration over Prince Andrew’s refusal to engage with investigators
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk becoming ‘bit players’ like Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson and could ‘fade into obscurity’
A filmmaker with ties to the royal family has claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk fading into obscurity – in a similar fashion to Edward and Mrs Simpson.
Nick Bullen, CEO of True Royalty TV, drew comparisons between Prince Harry and his great-great uncle Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1936 and wrote a royal tell-all memoir years later.
Prince Harry is set to release his own book lifting the lid on his life in the royal family next year.
I expect they will fade away, Harry is rapidly exhausting his social capital and frankly people just don’t much care for Markle.
Prince Charles warns UK bosses: ‘Go green or we are done for’ in his most powerful intervention to date in the fight against climate change, as he calls for business leaders to join the ‘epic battle’ to avert ‘catastrophe’
Prince Charles today makes his most powerful intervention to date in the fight against climate change, telling Britain’s business leaders they must help, or the planet is ‘done for’.
Drawing emotionally on his family connections to wildfire-racked Greece, the prince issues a robust challenge to big business to join his crusade for action ‘before it’s finally too late’.
The heir to the throne says that humanity’s ‘only hope’ is for business chiefs to join world leaders in an ‘epic battle’ to avert ‘climate catastrophe’.
He’s gonna be a real popular Welfare King. Not sure they’ll be much need for William.
Climate change alarmist Prince Harry demonstrated his green hypocrisy once again after travelling home by private jet after attending a charity polo event, according to reports.
… Of Andrew’s future, she said: “I think he does not really have a future as a working member of the royal family. Because, whatever the reality, the PR has been so bad that I think his reputation is damaged for ever. The public perception is he’s a condemned man.”
If you’re an Afghan translator sheltering in a Kabul compound, life must seem pretty grim. The Taliban’s triumph has brought with it the restoration of sharia law – a throwback to when the movement ruled Afghanistan 20 years ago. The only difference between then and now seems to be their warriors’ concerted PR push, with journalists on the ground subject to ceaseless Taliban press conferences. If Madison Avenue did coups, perhaps.
But the night is darkest just before the dawn. And now, at last, hope is here: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally released a public statement.
Britain’s Prince Andrew remains a person of interest in the federal investigation into the sex-trafficking case involving late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a new report says.
The UK royal — who was sued by rape accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre last week — has allegedly been stonewalling US investigators’ attempts to interview him.
Last year, then-US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman accused the royal of having “sought to falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to cooperate” with the criminal investigation despite “unequivocally” refusing to.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre may have a former employee of Jeffery Epstein on her side in her bombshell sexual assault lawsuit against Prince Andrew.
A man who once worked for the late financier — and claims to have spotted Andrew groping a young, blonde Giuffre near the pool on Epstein’s private island — wants to testify on her behalf, according to a report.
Steve Scully, who spent six years fixing Epstein’s telecommunications, is ready and willing to take the stand in Giuffre’s sensational Manhattan Federal Court case, The Sun reported.
I think this is a Royal “Oh Fuck” moment.
The Metropolitan Police commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, confirmed on Thursday that the force is conducting a review into the allegations of sexual assault against Prince Andrew, declaring that “no one is above the law.”
Dick’s comments were in response to the filing of a lawsuit in a US court by Virginia Giuffre, accusing Prince Andrew of sexual assault, battery and inflicting emotional distress on her when she was 17.
Speaking to UK radio station LBC, Dick stated that “as a result of what’s going on,” her force is having “another look at the material” relevant to the allegations. However, the Met commissioner said that, despite the review, no formal investigation into Prince Andrew is currently underway.
