The lawsuit was filed by Virginia Giuffre, who has claimed she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew’s former friend.

Ms Giuffre has alleged she had sex with the duke when she was 17 and a minor under US law.

Andrew has vehemently denied the allegations in the past, but the prince is yet to officially respond to the lawsuit filed by Ms Giuffre in the US.

It was reported that until now, Prince Andrew was staying at Windsor Castle.
