According to court documents obtained by The Guardian, Prince Andrew's legal team has pivoted their attention to Giuffre's psychologist, Dr. Judith Lightfoot, and Giuffre's husband, Robert Giuffre.
Lawyers for the Duke of York, 61, want to question Lightfoot, who treated Giuffre, 38, over claims she "may suffer from false memories" and to disclose any medication prescribed to Giuffre, court documents say, according to the outlet. The duke's legal team also seeks testimony from Robert about the couple's finances and the circumstances around their meeting in 2002, The Guardian reports.
While Prince Andrew's legal team seeks to question Lightfoot and Robert, Giuffre's team wants testimony from Prince Andrew's former assistant and a woman who claims to have seen the two together at a London nightclub during the time in question, according to The Guardian.
Representatives for the duke and Virginia Giuffre did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The Guardian noted that if a US judge and Australian authorities comply with the requests, Lightfoot and Robert Giuffre would need to be questioned under oath via video from their homes in Australia.
In August 2021, Giuffre filed a lawsuit accusing Prince Andrew of sexual assault, claiming that he was aware of her age and knew she was a victim of sex trafficking.
"I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and the rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions," Giuffre said, via her lawyers, in a statement to ABC News.
