Together in 2001: If Prince Andrew (left) sets foot in the US, attorneys acting for Virginia Roberts (right) could attempt to hand him deposition papers Prince Andrew is now unable to visit the United States without running the risk of being ambushed with a subpoena, a lawyer warned yesterday. If he sets foot there, attorneys acting for Virginia Roberts could attempt to hand him deposition papers, he said. These would oblige him to give evidence on oath – or face the threat of jail. The legal team representing Miss Roberts has already tried to ambush several people they wish to question with legal papers, including Andrew’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell.
