Q&A may include family ‘jewels’

Prince Andrew will almost certainly be asked about his private parts in the Manhattan sex-assault lawsuit against him — and his accuser’s attorneys will likely try to depose Queen Elizabeth II, a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein victims says.

The Duke of York, 61, will be called on to give a deposition under oath after a judge on Wednesday denied his request to dismiss the suit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

“It is without question the duke will be asked about his private parts,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for several Epstein victims, told the Mirror.

“Nothing is off-limits, because if an underage girl can describe what the Duke of York’s private parts look like . . . how would that be if they had not had a relationsh­ip?”

Andrew would not have to fly to the US — where authoritie­s have long wanted to quiz him on what he knew about pedophile financier Epstein — but would be questioned “under oath, under penalty of perjury of US law” by Giuffre’s legal team, Kuvin said.

That would include more questions about the ties he had to Epstein and convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell.

Giuffre attorney David Boies has confirmed that his team plans to try to depose a dozen or so people, including some in Andrew’s “inner circle.”

Boies has said that will likely include Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle.

Kuvin speculates that Boies could have even more majestic targets in mind.

“The lawyers could even try for the queen,” he speculated. “But as a sovereign, it will be almost impossible.”

Kuvin said he suspected that other royal targets would likely be Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters — Princesses Beatrice, 33, and Eugenie, 31 — because they were all mentioned during his disastrous 2019 BBC interview in which he denied even meeting Giuffre.
