Prince Andrew dashes to Balmoral to see Queen hours before bombshell lawsuit accuses him of ‘rape in first degree’

PRINCE Andrew had dinner with the Queen last night — as a bombshell lawsuit accused him of “rape in the first degree”.

The Duke of York, 61, left for Balmoral with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson hours before a US summons was sent to his Windsor home.

His accuser Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer last night warned a criminal probe could be opened into the royal’s alleged abuse of the then-17-year-old.

David Boies, speaking exclusively to The Sun, said prosecutors began investigating Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after civil claims against them.

Ms Giuffre’s lawsuit says she was “forced to have sexual intercourse with Prince Andrew against her will” and lists offences including “rape in the first degree”.

So, why was Sarah Ferguson there with him, and why is she going to Balmoral with him? I thought they were exes?

Or is she afraid of a subpoena also?

Why?

My theory: The House of Windsor’s Epstein Problem has metastasized.

FWIW, I don’t think it’s a coinkydink that ex-wife and daughters are the Harkles’ biggest defenders.

It is a very strange relationship they have. At times, she almost seems to be an enabler to his behavior.

Losing Epstein as a procurer may have led to him making a mistake?

Royals cannot be arrested while in the presence of the Queen, or while in a royal palace

He and his wife were likely seeking sanctuary while all this unfolds.

“rape in the first degree”

That sounds like the terms used in a criminal trial. Is there such usage in civil suits?

So, why was Sarah Ferguson there with him

They have remained close since their divorce. By all accounts they actually love/loved each other.

The framing of the situation in the context of what it means for the queen, or the crown, is ridiculous. Sweep it all under rug because the queen needs a break? Follow the evidence where it leads and let justice be done.
