Prince Andrew Lawsuit: US Judge Holds Preliminary Hearing On 13th September
District Judge Lewis Kaplan is expected to hold an initial pretrial conference on 13th September in a trial against Prince Andrew accused by Virginia Giuffre of raping her as a minor.
Giuffre’s trial server confirmed that Prince Andrew received indictment documents from the security chief at his home at the Royal Lodge in Windsor on August 27th.
The prince recently visited Balmoral, where his mother, Queen Elizabeth, spends her annual summer vacation.
