EXPLAINER | How Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict is putting fresh pressure on Prince Andrew
A famous photo apparently shows Andrew with Maxwell at her London house, while he has an arm around Giuffre's naked midriff.His legal team is seeking to dismiss Giuffre's complaint at a New York court hearing set for 4 January.Giuffre tweeted Wednesday that she hoped that"today is not the end but rather another step in justice being served. Maxwell did not act alone. Others must be held accountable. I have faith that they will be.
"In the legal sense it leaves him in exactly the same place as he was a week ago," royal correspondent Johnny Dymond told BBC Radio 4. The photo apparently showing the three together"could now be described as the sex trafficker, the sex slave and the duke," said Dymond. "Verdict is bad news for Prince Andrew," The Times said in a headline, adding that Andrew's chances of defeating Giuffre's legal action"look even slimmer than they did previously".At the same time, The Guardian said the fact that Andrew was barely mentioned in the US trial"will have been an undoubted relief".The prince told the BBC he first met Maxwell when she was in university and last met her in the summer of 2019.
