Lawyers for the son of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew, called the husband of activist Virginia Giuffre, who accused the duke of violence, as a witness. It is reported by Sky News.

In addition, Andrew's defense wants to hear sworn testimony from her psychologist. According to court documents, lawyers believe that Virginia Giuffre "may be suffering from false memories" as her claims about "the circumstances under which Prince Andrew allegedly attacked her have changed repeatedly over the years."

The Duke's defense believes that Robert Giuffre has information about the "alleged emotional and psychological" damage caused to his wife. They also plan to ask Virginia's husband about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as whether she was involved in "recruiting underage girls" for Epstein's sex trafficking scheme.

Prince's lawyer Melissa Lerner claims that Robert Giuffre met his wife in Thailand around 2002 when she was attending a massage training course and "recruiting one or more women to have sex for Jeffrey Epstein, who financed the trip."

The son of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain was stripped of all military ranks and royal patronage amid allegations. In court, he will defend himself as a private individual.

The allegations against the duke were made by American-Australian activist Virginia Giuffre. She claims that the Queen's son used the services of businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who supplied teenagers to influential people around the world for sexual pleasures. The prince himself does not deny that he was friends with Epstein, but insists on his innocence.

The situation around the Giuffre case against the Duke of York has escalated recently, because the day before, on January 12, an American court agreed to consider a civil lawsuit against the prince. His lawyers tried to convince the court of the insolvency of the case, but Judge Lewis Kaplan considered the suspicions against the Duke well-founded.
