Of Counsel Anna Rothwell has commented on the news that Prince Andrew has reached a settlement with Virginia Giuffre; she has been widely quoted in the leading newspapers on this breaking news story.
Anna stated “It is not surprising that Prince Andrew has settled Ms Giuffre’s civil claim in light of his disastrous Newsnight interview. That interview alone would have given Ms Giuffre’s lawyers a wealth of material to use in cross examination. It would have proven a painful deposition for the Prince, and this time his cross examination would have been under oath.”
She has been quoted in BBC News, Daily Mail, Financial Times and The Guardian, in addition to other media outlets.
