In his now-infamous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, Prince Andrew claimed he was unable to sweat at the time Virginia Giuffre alleged they danced together at a London nightclub in 2001. He attributed this to a “peculiar medical condition” caused by “an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War.” However, photographs later surfaced showing Andrew attending parties in Saint-Tropez during the early 2000s, visibly perspiring under the Mediterranean sun. These images directly undercut his bizarre defense and reignited skepticism about his credibility—especially as they appeared to date from the same general period when he claimed to be physiologically incapable of sweating.

In January 2022, Andrew’s legal team sought permission to depose Giuffre’s husband Robert Giuffre and her psychologist Dr Judith Lightfoot by video link in Australia. Their aim was to probe two key areas: first, whether Giuffre might “suffer from false memories,” in which context they requested details of any medications prescribed by Lightfoot; and second, the nature of Robert Giuffre’s relationship with his wife and their shared finances, including how and when he met Giuffre.
