Thanks Duncin hopefully there'll be more on it

CathyorClaire · 13/09/2021 21:07

So.

Not only ducking the allegations on a technicality but now hosting a (presumably tax deductible courtesy of Brenda's intervention) shooting party in brazen defiance of public opinion while still believing a full return to public life is on the cards.

Deluded pig doesn't start to cover it.

Interested in this thread?

Hours in advance of today's Hearing an Attorney enters a 'Notice of Apperance' on behalf of Prince Andrew

As for the shooting party ShockShock

So he HAS been properly served in this case.

Roussette · 13/09/2021 22:07

His US Attorney representing him has handled cases of many famous people accused of rape including Bill Cosby Hmm

DuncinToffee · 13/09/2021 23:55

Judge Kaplan gave Giuffre's lawyer David Boies a week to request an order that would settle any uncertainty over service.

They will argue it on Oct. 13th.

High Court has today agreed a request to notify him formally about the claim.

Getting interesting

New York (CNN)Prince Andrew was served with legal papers in a civil sexual assault case against him when the senior British royal's US-based lawyer was sent the suit by FedEx and email on Monday, court papers show.

The US court documents, seen by CNN, show the legal papers were delivered to the duke's lawyer, Andrew B. Brettler, at the law firm of Lavely and Singer in Los Angeles on Monday morning at 9:22 a.m. local time.
The court document also shows legal papers being delivered to the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Monday.

Here I am...

I presume PA has now been able to see his new little GD?
Or is he still in hiding...

Sorry it's behind a paywall but from what I can read it's very damning....

Will look for it elsewhere

Hmmmm nothing aurprises me anymore with the rf. Lets bot forget any private wealth isn't earnt through a normal job. Itll be peoples money from all the colonisation and god knows what else.

Placemarking for later (didn't even know this thread was running, so thanks to Annunciata who linked it on the last one)

HarrisonStickle · 02/10/2021 22:29

On another thread someone recommended Norman Baker's "...And What Do You Do?" about the RF.

I had to laugh at this on p. 79:

Most controversially he [PA] was invested by his mother with the insignia of a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (highest rank) in 2011, controversial because at the time he was the subject of unflattering articles in the media about his relationship with a convicted paedophile, questions about his role as UK trade ambassador and his close engagement with tyrannical and unsavoury foreign regimes. It seems neither the absence of merit nor the force of public opinion was going to stop the Queen give a nice fifty-first birthday present to her son.

How times have changed. Not.

Roussette · 03/10/2021 08:04

Stickle Oh yes.

And then his 55th birthday in 2015, a new present from Mummy!

He was appointed Vice Admiral. More shiny medals and uniforms!

He wanted to be a full Admiral on his 60th but turned it down to save the Queen embarrassment. I presume we're supposed to be grateful for that?

It is longstanding standard practice to treat senior Royals as if they had stayed in the Armed Forces and as a result promote them. I bet that pisses off those that are in the Armed Forces.

rubicscubicle · 03/10/2021 09:28

Hold on, so the same Queen who asked for a bailout for the palace due to Covid, suddenly has millions to pay for Andy's legal case.

The royal family are experts at working the system, I'll say that for them!

It obviously went away enough in 2011, and I wonder if they think the same will happen this time. I think when you start down the road of Andrew actually availing himself of trafficked women who were underage in the place he had sex with them, it's not quite so easy.

I'm pretty sure the Queen and her lawyers will be doing some VERY heavy leaning. I hope Victoria Giuffre sticks to her guns.

Prince Andrew has been granted access to a sealed document his lawyers believe could help end the sexual abuse case being brought by Virginia Giuffre.
A US judge gave permission for the agreement between Ms Giuffre and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to be shared with the prince's lawyers.
Ms Giuffre's lawyers had made the offer to release the document but believe it will be "irrelevant" to the civil case.

meercat23 · 07/10/2021 12:54

I have no idea whether the sealed documents will mean that he is immune from prosecution or not but if he has to rely on that earlier agreement that speaks volumes, in my view.

OverByYer · 07/10/2021 13:53

If VGs lawyers have agreed to share the documents I would guess that they are pretty confident that they will have no bearing on PAs case?
