They also want to question him under oath about her “alleged childhood trauma and abuse”,her relationship with Epstein and Maxwell,and any communication she has had with him about the civil case she is bringing against Andrew.

As part of their request,the prince’s lawyers asked to see all of Lightfoot’s medical notes on Giuffre,her prescriptions and invoices.

Andrew’s team wants testimony from Robert Giuffre and the psychologist,both of whom live in Australia,by April 29 or as soon as possible after that.

Giuffre’s lawyers,meanwhile,have filed similar requests for Andrew’s side. They want testimony from his former assistant Robert Olney,whose name they say appeared in Epstein’s phone book under “Duke of York”,which they say indicates he knew about Andrew’s travel to Epstein’s properties.

Her lawyers are also seeking testimony from Shukri Walker,who they say has been quoted in news reports talking about how she saw Andrew at the London nightclub Tramp during the time period in question with a young woman who might have been Giuffre.
