Virginia Giuffre's accusations against Prince Andrew
The 41-year-old filed a lawsuit against the youngest brother of King Charles III in 2021 in which she accused Andrew of sexually assaulting at the age of 19.
Virginia Giuffre was also an alleged victim of the infamous sex offender and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose clients reportedly included Prince Andrew.
However, the father of Princess Beatice and Eugenie debunked the accusations in a 2019 interview with the BBC, claiming that he does not remember having any meeting with Giuffre.
