The Duke of York has been keeping a low profile this week as he was named in files from a defamation case which were released on Friday.

The newly released documents are linked to a 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre has accused Prince Andrew of abusing her when she was a teenager.

Prince Andrew has always strenuously denied Ms Giuffre’s claims.

The Duke of York settled a claim by Ms Giuffre for an undisclosed sum in 2022 without admitting any wrongdoing.

The newly unsealed documents reveal that Ghislaine Maxwell claimed she never introduced Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell's claim contradicts Prince Andrew's account of how he first met the convicted sex offender.

Maxwell said during the deposition when asked if she introduced Andrew to Epstein: "That would be another of Virginia’s lies and the lies you perpetrate.

"I never introduced Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein at any time ever, so just add that to the long list of lies."

She added: "I do not know [how] Jeffrey met Prince Andrew."

Maxwell's testimony appears to contradict what the Duke of York told Emily Maitlis during his 2019 Newsnight interview.

Prince Andrew told the BBC he met Epstein "through his girlfriend [Maxwell] back in 1999… and I’d known her since she was at university in the UK."
