Did you know that Prince Andrew still plans to dispute the authenticity of this ^^ photo? Sources close to Andrew have said for years now that Andrew believes the photo has been manipulated or faked in some way, and he plans to continue arguing that in court during his trial. This is Andrew’s “fat finger defense” – as in, he believes that the fingers in the hand around then-Virginia Roberts’s waist are “too fat” to be his fingers. I hope this comes up during his deposition too, which will apparently be happening much faster than I realized. David Boies (Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer) is already making plans to travel to London to depose Andrew personally:
The drumbeat for settlement in the Giuffre case is growing louder on both sides. This week a source in Andrew’s camp told The Daily Beast they did not wish to “foreclose on the possibility” of settling and now Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies has told the Telegraph: “I think that we would be unlikely to settle in a situation in which somebody just handed over a cheque. So if Prince Andrew maintains ‘I’ve never heard of this person’, ‘I don’t know who she is’, ‘The photographs are fake,’ then I don’t think that we would want to settle on that basis…[but] if you had a settlement that was large enough to be, in effect, a vindication, then it’s something we would obviously look at.”
US civil lawyer Spencer Kuvin told The Sun: “Damages against Andrew could range in excess of £14 million. To punish someone worth a fortune you have got to hit them in their pockets and punish them accordingly.”
If the case continues, Andrew can expect to be grilled for as much as two days by master inquisitor David Boies himself. The lawyer tells the Telegraph: “It has been agreed that we will go to London to depose him,” and adds it could last “a day, or probably two.”
Boies says: “I’m going to try to get him to understand that this is not going to be combative. Obviously, I’m going to ask him a lot of questions. And although some of the questions may be uncomfortable, I’m not going to be aggressive or in any way offensive to him. I’m going to be very respectful.”
Judging solely from Andrew’s past buffoonery, I tend to believe that Andrew will not realize that he needs to move heaven and earth to settle until it’s much too late. My guess is that Andrew will still be digging in his heels and he’ll sit down for the deposition, thinking that he’ll nail it and all of his answers make Virginia look awful, and then it will all blow up in his face with just a handful of leaks from Boies. Like, I expect Andrew to finally settle just days before the trial begins. If past is prologue, that sounds like his vibe.

He and Will remind me of each other.
We’re just supposed to accept what they say because they’re royal, durn it. We’re not supposed to question! How dare we?!
William shows similar behaviour. His ‘boys’ weekends’ seem to be part of the marriage deal. There are several photos of his drunken partying following the announcement of his break up with Kate, including one of him with his hand covering the breast of an 18 year old girl. These jaunts have continued. When Kate was admitted to hospital during her first pregnancy she’d been staying with her parents and William had to be summoned from his partying, I think it was in Dorset.
I’ve got my popcorn 🍿 all ready to go; I’ll just sit back and enjoy😋. Let the shitshow cemmence, LOL😂.
Oh, come on, Andrew. It’s basic medical science that when you have Mystery Intermittent Non-Sweating Syndrome (MINSS), gravity pulls all the sweat you’re not sweating down from your armpits and into your fingers to make them fat. Are you now trying to claim that the Falklands didn’t cause you to develop Mystery Intermittent Non-Sweating Syndrome?
“Quick!!! Book my armpit Boxtox appointment!’
This entitled a$$ still thinks he did well in that tv interview two yrs ago!
He will come into this deposition (IF it even gets that far, and I’m betting he will be forced by C&W to settle by any means just before), full of anger, resentment, and engorged entitlement: HOW DARE this common person ask HIM ANY questions, that he doesn’t have to “answer” to a “peasant”.
Frankly, I wish they’d put this on PPV with proceeds to go to a Trafficking charity. I’d pay good money to watch!
I would be happy to pay and would love for the proceeds to go to all Trafficking Non Profits!! This is an excellent idea!! I hope the Men in Grey are reading this and they take it upon themselves to make this happen!!
Excellent idea @ Jan90067!!
I doubt she’ll settle for anything less than an admission of guilt for Andrew. Even just a blank cheque won’t do it for Virginia at this point. Which I don’t blame her for. Also, having to prep Andrew for depositions? Good luck to those undertaking that task.
I was going to say- it doesn’t sound like Ms. Guiffre will even be willing to settle unless it includes an actual public admission of wrongdoing, which I doubt Andrew will provide! I’m sure he’ll try but he’s boxed himself in, by the sounds of it.
Wow. This is happening! Also, liar Andy was just trying to interject his military service where he was supposedly shot at, so that’s why he stopped sweating? I just can’t with him.
Love how Boies says I’m not going to be combative, disrespectful or offensive but am just asking some uncomfortable questions. Know who else said that? The reporter from newsnight. Still didn’t work out too well.
“… And although some of the questions may be uncomfortable, I’m not going to be aggressive or in any way offensive to him. I’m going to be very respectful.”
Will Andrew’s lawyers make the same pledge?
Never. We are talking about a privileged rapist who thinks that the sun and moon rise with his presence. His legal team are as dumb as Pedrew!
has anyone advised him to speak to Meghan, afterall she was in a legal drama for a long time she can probably give him tips, so he dosent screw it up
Is a deposition in secret or does it become public?
Hey, sorry if this in coming in as a reply. I’m not getting the option at the bottom, it’s coming here. Why is Boie making the concession of going to him? Can he not force him to NY? If not how can he force him to sit for the depo in the UK?
I think he’s removing the excuses that Andrew would have about how difficult it would be for him to travel to America, and possibly giving Andrew a false sense of comfort on his own turf.
If I were asking for information, I’d want him feeling arrogant and like he probably doesn’t have to prepare, you know?
Remember, he did his infamous news interview from the palace, after giving the reporter a tour to try to impress her, and he really thought he aced that. Here’s hoping he won’t learn a single thing from that.
He can’t be forced to go to the US. He hasn’t been charged with a crime.
This is a civil case and AFAIK the rules provide for him to be ordered to attend a UK court for a private deposition hearing.
I hope Boies pulls up that pic of Pedo driving his car and asks him if his fat fingers are also faked in that photo.
I came to critique his riding. He needs to sit back and bend his elbows. 😂
On his red right hand the fingers are just as fat as on his red left hand. His arrogant ignorance is absolutely infuriating. I wish him misery and beatings for the rest of his days.
only people who have fatter stubby fingers than Andrew are 1) his own brother and 2)Donald Trump.
