The royal\u2019s legal team said this week he had not been properly served.<\/b>
\nA London court has said it will notify Prince Andrew, who has been accused of sexual abuse by one of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s most outspoken accusers, Virginia Giuffre, of the lawsuit filed against him in a U.S. court, which could help speed up the case days after the prince\u2019s legal team argued the royal had not been properly served Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit seeking damage against Andrew in a New York Court last month, alleging that Andrew raped her on three occasions when she was a teenager and was being sex trafficked by Epstein and his friend and one-time girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who is thought to have introduced Epstein to the prince. Andrew has denied abusing Giuffre both in court this week and in past media interviews. In 2019 he stepped down from his royal duties over his friendship with the disgraced financier, whom he continued seeing after Epstein was convicted of soliciting underage girls in 2008. Epstein committed suicide awaiting sex trafficking charges in August 2019, and Maxwell has remained in custody since her 2020 arrest on sex trafficking charges.
