Prince Andrew faces a crucial hearing in his sexual abuse case at a New York district court on Wednesday, as his legal team attempts to turn the tables on his accuser, Virginia Giuffre.
Giuffre alleges that she was forced to perform sex acts with the royal -- claims Andrew denies. His attorneys are hoping the case is thrown out, having filed a motion to dismiss.
But they also appear to be attempting to shift the narrative, alleging in a blistering court filing that Giuffre's claims are motivated by money. CNN has contacted Giuffre's lawyers in relation to the fresh claims; in their initial filings for the case, her attorneys said Andrew had inflicted "emotional distress" on Giuffre that was "severe and lasting."
