Royal Family News: Prince Andrew Makes Stunning Request

Royal Family News – Andrew Responds To Suit

Andrew’s court filing reads: “Virginia Giuffre may well be a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein…and nothing can excuse, nor fully capture, the abhorrence and gravity of Epstein’s monstrous behavior against Giuffre, if so.”

“However, and without diminishing the harm suffered as a results of Epstein’s alleged misconduct, Prince Andrew never sexually abused or assaulted Giuffre. He unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false allegations against him.”

The lawyers also contend that Giuffre, “profited from her allegations against Epstein and others by selling stories and photographs to the press and entering into secret agreements to resolve her claims against her alleged abusers, including Epstein and his ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Andrew has been pictured with both individuals and kept company with each of them. One widely circulated photo shows him with Maxwell and Giuffre, with his hand around the latter’s bare waist.

It is not known how much money his accuser received through a settlement with the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund, reportedly worth more than $121 million.

Driving home their point that the case should be dismissed, the lawyers stated, “Epstein’s abuse of Giuffre does not justify her public campaign against Prince Andrew … (her) pattern of filing a series of lawsuits against numerous high-profile individuals should no longer be tolerated, as it continues to irreparably harm many innocent people.”
