According to insiders, Prince Andrew does not seem to be awake by the lawsuit that was filed earlier this week by Virginia Roberts Giuffre in the United States. Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of abusing her when she was a minor. His lawyers will try to invoke his diplomatic immunity, according to the lawyer of many victims in the Epstein case.

Giuffre was a victim of the human trafficking of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, and accuses Prince Andrew of raping her three times twenty years ago, when she was 17 years old. Andrew vehemently denies those allegations.
Andrew and his entourage have been refusing to cooperate with the investigation for five years since the first allegations surfaced. According to US attorney Spencer Kuvin, they will also try to avoid the new lawsuit by showing that the Duke was a trade envoy in 2001 – during the period when Mrs. Giuffre claims he raped and sexually abused her – and thus enjoys diplomatic immunity. According to friends, the Duke of York, who is currently staying with the Queen in Balmoral with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is therefore very reassured about the case being brought against him in the United States. They describe him as very relaxed.
This week it became clear that the British police will also reconsider the allegations against Prince Andrew.
