It should be noted that Giuffre’s lawyers had previously sent the lawsuit to Andrés in many ways, although they never delivered it directly into his hands. At one point, Britain’s top court granted a request by Giuffre’s lawyers to formally contact the prince about the lawsuit.
His lawyers had said the lawsuit was without merit. specificity and was disqualified for a settlement he reached in 2009 with Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers.
That settlement of a lawsuit was reached a decade before Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting a trial for sex trafficking.
