In August 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in the U.S. against Prince Andrew accusing him of sexual assault when she was a teenager. His legal team immediately attempted to block the case, arguing among other things that a 2009 settlement she made with Jeffrey Epstein released any potential claims against him. The court rejected the motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed and reach the phase where depositions (including his) were scheduled.

Rather than face a full deposition and trial, Andrew settled the lawsuit in mid-February 2022 for an undisclosed amount, agreeing to make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s charity and to support efforts against sex trafficking, without admitting liability. Because of that settlement, the planned U.S. deposition of the prince was averted – the case did not go to a trial where he would have had to testify under oath in open court.
