David Boies, attorney for Virginia Giuffre, explained that Prince Andrew initially tried to stonewall the case but quickly pivoted toward a settlement when faced with the prospect of a deposition. According to Boies, Andrew’s priority was to pay as little as possible and avoid publicly acknowledging Giuffre as a victim, even implying her claims were fabricated. The agreement, reached just a week before the scheduled deposition, centered on two elements: a “substantial amount of money” and a carefully worded statement from Andrew, both resolved swiftly under pressure.


Boies later noted that if Andrew truly wanted to back out of the settlement, the process was simple: “Just call me, let me take Andrew’s deposition, and we’ll go to trial.” After Giuffre’s death in April 2025, Boies again pressed Andrew to take responsibility, stressing that Virginia would have accepted even a partial acknowledgment or apology. He insisted it was “not too late” for Andrew to come clean, framing accountability as the only way to honor Giuffre’s legacy and provide a measure of justice.
