The legal team for Britain’s Prince Andrew, on Thursday, refused to make any comment after they failed to persuade a U.S. judge to dismiss Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit.

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

In a decision made public on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge, Lewis Kaplan said Giuffre, 38, could pursue claims that Andrew battered her and intentionally caused her emotional distress while the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein, trafficked her.

“The legal team have advised me that there will be no comment,’’ a spokeswoman said.
