Prince Andrew has been asked to provide documentary evidence of “his alleged inability to sweat” and the names of anyone he met at a Pizza Express in Woking by lawyers for Virginia Giuffre thetimes.co.uk/article/prince…
The lawyers have also demanded any documents related to his “travel to or from . . . the Tramp nightclub” in London and any gifts he received from Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, “including but not limited to puppets”
Giuffre, 38, alleges that she was brought to London in 2001 when she was 17 by Epstein and Maxwell and that she was introduced to the Duke. They went out together to the club, where the prince sweated profusely, and then came back to Maxwell’s house in Belgravia, she has alleged
Andrew, who denies the allegations, told Newsnight in 2019 that Giuffre’s account of the evening out at the nightclub could not be true “because I have a peculiar medical condition which is that I don’t sweat or I didn’t sweat at the time"

He also claimed that on the day in question, he had taken his daughter Beatrice to a Pizza Express in Woking, Surrey, in the late afternoon and was then at home with his children for the rest of the night
Lawyers for the Duke of York have insisted that the conviction of his friend Ghislaine Maxwell will not affect the sexual abuse lawsuit he is fighting in a New York court thetimes.co.uk/article/prince…
Andrew’s lawyers insisted that it would have no impact on the case. “They are two separate cases,” a source for his legal team said
Andrew’s lawyers argue that the duke, who denies the allegations, is protected from litigation under a sealed settlement agreement Giuffre signed with Epstein
This week two federal judges ordered that the agreement be unsealed next Monday, a day before a hearing at which Andrew’s American lawyers will seek to have the case thrown out. They also argue that the court in New York cannot hear the case because Giuffre resides in Australia

The cast of #HarryPotter reunite in the television special #ReturntoHogwarts on Sky Max, but what have they been up to since the franchise ended?
thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-…
Returning to reminisce on the film sets on which they grew from inexperienced cherubic actors into fully fledged film stars, #ReturnToHogwarts is a warm bundle of magical nostalgia, writes @henryfabird Image
The success of the films was no guarantee, however. In the book Harry Potter: Page to Screen, the producer David Heyman says that he thought “at most, the first book might make a good, modestly sized British film”.

But it went on to gross more than $1 billion

Lord Dubs: ‘Someone has to speak up for people who risk their lives coming here’ thetimes.co.uk/article/lord-d…
When @AlfDubs saw children being carried wrapped in blankets out of small boats in Kent, he was instantly taken back to the moment he arrived in Britain on the Kindertransport having fled the Nazis at the age of six
@AlfDubs “What it made me feel is terrible pain for the people who are fleeing,” says the 89-year-old Labour peer. “People must be desperate, having travelled so far anyway, to risk their lives in this way. It made me feel dismayed that our government is not enabling them to be safe”
