Prince Andrew avoiding service of lawsuit, accuser's lawyer says

Prince Andrew and his attorneys have allegedly refused multiple attempts to serve the beleaguered royal with notice of a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him.

Britain's Prince Andrew and his lawyers have refused multiple attempts to serve the beleaguered royal with notice of a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him last month in New York, according to an attorney for his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, and documents obtained by ABC News. "Process servers have shown up at his residence, and they have refused to take the summons and refused to let the process servers in to serve," said David Boies, chairman of New York City-based law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, which represents Giuffre. "He has stopped coming out in public. He has been moving around." The 61-year-old British prince was snapped by photographers on Tuesday in a black Range Rover as he was departing Royal Lodge in Windsor, England, the home he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. He was photographed again several hours later arriving at Balmoral Castle, the Scottish estate of his mother, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. "Runaway Prince," blared a headline in one British tabloid newspaper, The Sun. "Prince Andrew bolts for Balmoral in bid to avoid being served sex assault papers."
