Alan Dershowitz has publicly said that Prince Andrew made “a terrible mistake” by settling the lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre in 2022 rather than taking the case to trial. Dershowitz believes Andrew could have won in court, arguing there were legal grounds to challenge jurisdiction, statute of limitations, and credibility of Giuffre’s claims. He suggests Andrew’s legal team—and possibly Queen Elizabeth II—pressured him into settling to avoid the embarrassment of a public deposition and the full airing of allegations.
Dershowitz also argues that for Prince Andrew to rehabilitate his public image and return to public life, previously sealed depositions and videotaped evidence from the lawsuit should be made public. He claims that if this material is released, a “very different version” of events may emerge that could help vindicate Andrew. Dershowitz contends that with the truth more fully exposed and legal arguments aired, Andrew might be able to shift perceptions and reclaim some standing socially, though he acknowledges the reputational damage is significant.
