Prince Andrew’s demands for a ‘trial by jury’.

[coopertapia9]

Prince Andrew’s demands for a ‘trial by jury’ to tackle sex abuse allegations made by a Jeffrey Epstein ‘sex slave’ head-on are a ‘bluff’ and a desperate bid to ‘buy time’ to reach an out-of-court settlement with his accuser, it was suggested by legal experts today.<br>Legal experts had predicted the Duke of York would seek a settlement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre after the Queen dramatically stripped him of his military roles, widely seen as the monarchy distancing itself from any potentially damaging developments.<br>But Andrew has taken the decision to face Miss Roberts in a US court, opening himself up to being cross-examined on camera by one of America’s most feared trial lawyers, with embarrassing questions on everything from his sex life and ‘private parts’ to what he has told his mother. <br>Media lawyer Mark Stephens earlier warned that the bombshell lawsuit could ‘overshadow’ Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee – and ultimately risks ‘bringing down the monarchy’.<br>But he admitted it could be a final piece of ‘classic brinkmanship’ to force down the reputed £10million settlement he may have to offer to Miss Roberts, who now uses her married name Giuffre.

He also speculated on whether the duke is ‘bluffing’ and may still settle to avoid damaging the standing of the monarchy.<br>‘I think he’s buying time for settlement. David Boies wants to get to the Queen’s money, which won’t happen. But we are just 10 days from Ascension Day and the beginning of the Platinum Jubilee,’ Mr Stephens said.<br>Kate MacNab, a solicitor at Reeds Solicitors, told MailOnline: ‘It may seem like an odd route to take – betting on public opinion – after his performance on Newsnight, but perhaps he is just biding his time?<br>‘Perhaps by agreeing to her initial wish of having a jury trial, he is wanting to position himself as having nothing to hide?

Perhaps this will force an out-of-court settlement? All of this is speculation of course, but nothing would surprise me at this stage.'<br>Miss Roberts claims that she was trafficked by Epstein and convicted British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, and forced to have sex with the duke three times when she was a minor under US law.

She says this amounted to rape, sexual assault and battery.<br>Her New York attorney David Boies said his team seeks to ‘depose between ten to 12 people’, and admitted this could include Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah, the Duchess of York, as well as his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.<br>Lawyers for the Queen’s second son said that Andrew ‘hereby demands a trial by jury on all causes of action asserted in the complaint’ because he denies ‘any and all wrongdoing’.

Experts say it further confirms why Her Majesty ‘swiftly and ruthlessly’ forced Andrew to step down from his remaining royal patronages and demanded he fight the case as a ‘private citizen’.<br>Mr Stephens went on: ‘The reason we think he’s got to settle is because of the timing.
Essentially this case is going to take up the rest of this year and if it takes up the rest of this year, that’s the whole of his mother’s Platinum Jubilee. <br> Prince Andrew’s legal team has filed legal papers in which the Royal denied all of Virginia Roberts’ sex abuse allegations as he prepares for a bitter US court battle (Pictured: Andrew and ex wife Sarah Duchess Of York leaving Royal Lodge on January 22)<br> The Queen seen leaving Wood Farm in Sandringham, Norfolk this morning after Andrew demanded a ‘trial by jury'<br> Experts predict a trial will cause untold damage to the Queen in her Platinum Jubilee year<br> Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts, aged 17, and Ghislaine Maxwell at Ghislaine Maxwell’s townhouse in London, Britain on March 13, 2001. Roberts, who is referred to in case documents by her married name Virginia Giuffre, filed a civil suit against Prince Andrew in August 2021, in which she formally accused the Royal of sexual abuse while she was being trafficked by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein<br> <br> RELATED ARTICLES
