Prince Andrew Makes Mad Dash To Queen Elizabeth's In Alleged Attempt To Avoid Being Served In Rape Accuser Virginia Giuffre's Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Prince Andrew escaped and headed straight to his mommy in an alleged attempt to avoid being served in a lawsuit brought on by his rape accuser Virginia Giuffre.
The 61-year-old Duke of York was seen bolting like a bat out of hell to Queen Elizabeth's 50,000-acre estate in Scotland.
The photos, taken on Monday, marks one of the first times anyone has spotted Andrew since he was sued for sexual abuse by his late pal Jeffrey Epstein's alleged former sex slave.
Andrew looked stressed and concerned behind the wheel of his black Range Rover with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in tow.
The two divorced in 1996, but Ferguson was there in a pinch after Giuffre accused her ex-husband of sexually abusing her when she was 17 years old.
Wearing a burgundy polo and his glasses, Andrew didn't shy away from the cameras as eager photographers snapped away.
He didn't go far though — heading only 500 yards to the safety of Elizabeth's Balmoral estate.
Andrew fled Royal Lodge in an alleged attempt to avoid being served paperwork in the sexual abuse lawsuit.

According to reports, Elizabeth's son has rejected lawyers' "multiple attempts" to serve the legal papers, allegedly ordering his guards to turn the attorneys away at his doorstep.
He reportedly feels safe at his mom's massive mansion with sources claiming Andrew has been going "stir-crazy inside Royal Lodge for the past few weeks."
"He wasn't going horse riding and couldn't step outside because of attempts to serve him with the legal papers," insiders tell The Sun. "He knows he is far safer up at Balmoral on the Queen's estate."
As RadarOnline.com reported, Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew in August. She claimed he sexually assaulted her when she was just a teenager in New York City after an introduction from Epstein and his right-hand woman and alleged sex trafficking co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In the documents, Giuffre claims “rape in the first degree" and alleges she was “forced to have sexual intercourse with Prince Andrew against her will."
Andrew has always maintained his innocence.
He even went on BBC's Newsnight and claimed he had “no recollection” of meeting Giuffre, despite a 2001 photo showing them together. In the picture, he's seen with his arms around Giuffre's waist as Maxwell smirks in the background.
