Prince Andrew wants to challenge court jurisdiction | Royals

entertainment">The first hearing of the lawsuit filed against the British prince is expected in New York. Local media previously wrote that the first session will take place by telephone. The judge in Manhattan wants, among other things, to be updated about the attempts to subpoena Andrew. These were difficult, as could be concluded from British media last week. The prince was reportedly holed up at the royal Balmoral estate.

entertainment">Giuffre, who was seventeen at the time, says that the prince repeatedly assaulted her decades ago. That would have happened, among other things, when Andrew was a guest of the controversial businessman Jeffrey Epstein. He was found dead in his cell in 2019 after being accused of extensive abuse of underage women. The autopsy revealed that he had taken his own life. Prince Andrew has denied allegations of abuse.
