Attorneys for accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre blasted Prince Andrew on Thursday for playing a “game of hide and seek behind palace walls” after he spent weeks dodging receipt of her sex-assault lawsuit, according to a new federal filing in the case.

“Ms. Giuffre believes she has already properly served Prince Andrew, and the Central Authority of the United Kingdom has accepted her request to serve him itself,” attorney David Boies wrote. “Service is not intended to be a game of hide and seek behind palace walls.”

Giuffre’s lawyers chronicled the extensive efforts they’ve made to ensure Andrew, 61, is properly served — including e-mailing, mailing and handdelive­ring the papers to the UK High Court, his attorneys, his royal office and his home.

Giuffre’s lawyers asked Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan to rule the royal has been properly notified of the suit, despite his lawyers’ assertions to the contrary on technical grounds.

Giuffre’s suit alleges that she was 17 when she was forced to have sex with Queen Elizabeth’s middle son at the direction of Jeffrey Epstein.
