Prince Andrew’s lawyer has called for the US civil case against the royal over alleged sexual assault to be stopped because his accuser is “actually domiciled in Australia”.
Virginia Giuffre is suing the Queen’s son for allegedly assaulting her when she was a teenager. Andrew strongly denies the allegation.
His lawyer, Andrew B Brettler, said in documents filed in the southern district court of New York on Tuesday that the case should be halted until the “issue of subject matter jurisdiction is adjudicated”.
