Prince Andrew has formally denied allegations that he sexually abused Virginia Giuffre and has demanded a jury trial in her civil lawsuit, according to a legal filing Wednesday.
The Prince of Wales refused to speak about the crisis engulfing the Windsors caused by the Duke of York s friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The British prince's lawyers argued that a $500,000 settlement that Virginia Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein reached in 2009 should prevent her from suing him.
Prince Andrew is set to face a civil case in the United States after a federal judge has ruled to deny the Duke of York's bid to dismiss the case against him.
