Prince Andrew poised to hit accuser Virginia Giuffre with an £81million lawsuit
PRINCE Andrew is poised to hit Virginia Giuffre with an £81million lawsuit.
The duke is “ready to go on the attack” if she repeats her sex allegations against him in her new book.
“The minute she writes anything that repeats the original claims against him she will be hit with a $100million (£81million) defamation lawsuit,” a source claimed.
“Andrew is ready to go on the attack. Then her claims will be put under scrutiny in a court of law.”
It comes after The Sun revealed he was hoping to overturn the multi-million-pound settlement with Virginia, 39, now her abuse case against a high-profile US lawyer has crumbled.
Andrew is consulting top US lawyers Andrew Brettler and Blair Berk to try to get her to retract the allegations.

Virginia was a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
She filed a lawsuit against Andrew in 2021 claiming he had sexually assaulted her as a teenager on multiple occasions.
The Duke of York has always denied the allegations.
It was reported earlier this month that an order signed by both parties for Virginia to remain silent about the case and financial deal expires in February.
