Meghan Markle May Be Called to Testify in Prince Andrew’s Lawsuit

In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle may potentially be called to testify in the ongoing lawsuit against Prince Andrew.

The lawsuit, filed by Virginia Gouffre, alleges inappropriate actions by Prince Andrew towards minors and his involvement in trafficking young individuals for illicit purposes alongside his friend, Jeffrey Epstein.

For those who may not be familiar, Prince Andrew is the brother of King Charles and the son of Queen Elizabeth.

He holds the title of Duke of York and is in line to the throne.

Virginia Gouffre claims to have proof of her association with Prince Andrew, including a photograph featuring herself, the prince, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking minors.

Prince Andrew, in response to the lawsuit, filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that Gouffre had already settled the case.

According to Prince Andrew, Gouffre had reached a settlement agreement with Epstein in 2009, where she agreed not to sue any other potential defendants if she received half a million dollars.

However, the federal judge presiding over the case was not convinced and rejected the motion to dismiss.

As a result, the civil s**ual assault case against Prince Andrew will proceed, with a New York judge ruling that it will be heard later this year.

Gouffre claims that Prince Andrew s**ually abused her when she was just 17 years old, during her time as a minor in Epstein's orbit.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied these allegations, and his counsel has not yet provided a comment to CBS News.

The denial of the motion to dismiss means that Gouffre will now have the opportunity to go through the discovery process, seeking information and evidence to support her case.

Surprisingly, one of the first witnesses that Gouffre's legal team intends to call is Meghan Markle.

This decision has raised many questions.

Why would Meghan Markle, who only became a member of the royal family years after the alleged events took place, be called to testify in this s**ual assault case?

Meghan herself has claimed that she knew very little about the royal family until she met Prince Harry in 2016.

However, some news media outlets have challenged this claim, citing blog posts and statements from former friends that suggest Meghan had prior knowledge and interest in the royal family.

The attorney representing Gouffre, David Boies, believes that Meghan should be forced to testify for three reasons.

Firstly, Meghan is currently residing in the United States, which gives the court jurisdiction over her.

Secondly, she was a close associate of Prince Andrew for a period of time and may have witnessed or heard discussions about his actions.

Lastly, Boies asserts that Meghan is someone who can be relied upon to tell the truth.

It is unclear how Meghan's potential testimony would contribute to the case, considering that the events in question occurred between 2000 and 2007, long before Meghan met Prince Harry.

The attorney's claim that Meghan was a close associate of Prince Andrew during this time raises further confusion, as it contradicts Meghan's own statements about her lack of knowledge regarding the royal family.

While rumors and innuendo have circulated suggesting Meghan's involvement in illicit activities, there is currently no concrete evidence to support these claims.

It is essential to rely on facts rather than speculation when forming opinions on this matter.

At present, only Prince Andrew, Meghan Markle, and their legal teams possess the information that could shed light on the reasons behind Meghan's potential involvement in the case.

As the lawsuit progresses, it remains to be seen whether Meghan will indeed be called to testify and what impact her testimony, if given, will have on the outcome of the case.

For now, we can only wait and see how this complex and intriguing legal battle unfolds.
