Lawyers for the woman who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse claim they have successfully served him with legal papers.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Virginia Giuffre has launched a civil case against the prince in New York – and legal papers have to be “served” before the case can proceed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Her lawyers say they were served on 27 August, being left with a police officer at Windsor’s Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prince Andrew denies all the claims made by Ms Giuffre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A spokeswoman representing the Duke of York has declined to comment on the latest development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A US district judge must determine whether the papers were in fact “served” before any case can proceed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A video conference on the next stages of the case is scheduled for a New York court on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

According to court documents, an answer is due from Prince Andrew to the affidavit by 17 September and “if you fail to respond, judgment by default will be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The prince is currently at Balmoral, the Queen’s Scottish estate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
