Disgraced royal Prince Andrew is set to attempt to overturn the settlement he reached with Virginia Roberts after her allegations of sexual assault.
The Duke of York consulted lawyers in an attempt to get Robert’s allegations retracted, possibly secure an apology and overturn the multimillion-dollar settlement, according to The Mail on Sunday.
The Duke was allegedly inspired to take action after Roberts dropped her lawsuit against another man she accused of sexual assault, after realising she “may have made a mistake” when trying to identify him.
Sources also suggest King Charles won’t oppose Andrew taking legal action to attempt to clear his name – despite previously telling his younger brother he was permanently removed from royal life.
Roberts – who now goes by her married name Giuffre – claimed she was forced to have sex with the Prince when she was 17 after she was trafficked by convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
