What has been going on for weeks in Virginia Giuffre's attempt to sue Prince Andrew - and will the case ever actually begin?

For weeks, lawyers acting for a woman who alleges she was sexually abused by Prince Andrew have been trying to alert him to their plans.To serve a member of the Royal Family once meant to do one's duty for Queen and country.

But it's for a court in New York to decide whether her allegations are true - assuming the case ever gets going. That rule is at the heart of justice in the US and the UK: a judge must be sure that the defendant knows what they are being accused of.Virginia Giuffre and her lawyer, David Boies - one of the best known attorneys in the US

On Thursday, 26 August, Cesar Sepulveda, a corporate investigator, turned up at the gates of Windsor Great Park.When he arrived on an unseasonably grey August morning, he had a fruitless wait. Fast forward to 13 September and David Boies, Virginia Giuffre's lawyer, joins a teleconference in a New York courtroom.

Prince Pizza, is just hiding behind his royal privilege, if this was you or me, we would have served with these legal papers, he should grow a pair of balls, & defend himself in court, and prove he is innocent

How about Anne Sacoolas? While I don’t care for Andrew, I do care for a little more reciprocal behaviour and respect from the USA

Why would she sign a paper and take money off Epstein she’s probably run out and needs more she doesn’t want a conviction she wants compensation that says a lot

His US lawyer, Andrew Brettler has also defended Bryan Singer who has been accused of sexually assaulting minors, comedian Chris D’Elia, who was accused of soliciting child pornography from a 17-year-old girl, and Danny Masterson who will stand trial on three counts of rape.

The high and mighty certainly get preferential treatment

British public: prince Andrew groomed and trafficked poor little 17 year old White girl for sex. Also British public: begum was 15, groomed and trafficked for sex....'she knew what she was doing'.

About time he faced up to his past. Stop running away

Doesn’t make him look guilty at all.

As someone who lives in York why is he still called the Duke of York? Can we take that back now?

Phew ! What a web of complications and twists. Thanks for a great explanation I understood now what the too and fro is all about! In short if you are a royal you can not be prosecuted easily if at all!

Civil case and the complainant has already been paid $5M prohibiting her from further accusations.

Serve them via the Pizza Express..?

Tell the yanks he has diplomatic immunity it works both ways

Weird bunch on here defending him 😳😳

Ohhhhh, what ironies.....A company owned by his mum is prevented from giving him important info that could help him move to a big house, also owned by his mum......e.g. HMP Wormwood Scrubs

Have they not heard of ABC Couriers - 'We deliver, the undeliverable'.

Men hey, tch.

The Saga? I don’t think the over 50’s are his problem.

Yes, if she was an underage girl and there is a photo of me with her AND her 'enabler' I would remember that!

Send Anne Sacoolas over with the papers then. annesacoolas

Hang on a second. If I get a parking fine it is deemed 'served' if it is posted to me. Why should he be any different?

Andrew has a 'hunted' look.

They all think they are above the law when it comes to them. They have to go.

Could Royal Mail sub-contract the work to the SAS or US Navy Seals?.....they have a habit of getting the job done

Is it really appropriate for to report on alleged sex offenders given their track record for covering them up and still has a statue of a paedophile on the front of their building?

He says he cannot remember Virginia Giuffre, is that because there was so many of these young girls?

Will there be a fair trial? Will there be an original photo?

For a man with nothing to hide he’s doing a lot of hiding.

Reprehensible.

Hope they laminated them, or they'll be getting very soggy...

Diplomatic immunity shouldn't apply for nonces

Not since Madeleine McCann has someone been so good at disappearing

Guilty as Hell . The Queen and the Royal Household are provaricating the commencement of his prison sentence.

Just send the papers round with a sixth former, they'll be served in seconds.
