Prince Andrew is reportedly accruing a fortune, around £10 million, to launch a legal challenge in the United States to his settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with the royal when she was 17 years old.

Prince Andrew has always denied the claims and did not accept any guilt during his £12 million payout. From prison, Ghislaine Maxwell has helped his cause by saying that she has “no memory” of the prince ever meeting Giuffre. She claimed that the photo of the three of them — Prince Andrew, Giuffre, and Maxwell — said to be taken at her apartment is a fake.

Whatever legal avenue Andrew is exploring, the prince had better hope that his lawyers are more capable of defending him than he is at defending himself.

Remember his “I’m incapable of sweating” defense?
