The legal settlement Prince Andrew hopes will get his sex assault case dismissed will not protect him from a lawsuit filed by his accuser Virginia Roberts, two sources have told the Mail.
Lawyers for the Duke of York have asked to see a secret document signed in 2009 by Miss Roberts to resolve a civil case she brought against Jeffrey Epstein, claiming it will release the Queen’s second son from liability for her claims.
But two people close to the case insist the confidential agreement does not apply to him, dealing a potentially major blow to Andrew’s chances of avoiding a courtroom showdown over her claims.
