Prince Andrew leaves Windsor with ex Sarah Ferguson after being stripped of titles

Andrew's lawyers could argue Ms Giuffre 'may suffer from false memories'

In the latest Prince Andrew news, the Duke of York has left Windsor with his ex Sarah Ferguson.

The 61-year-old was pictured driving from his home in a Range Rover with his former wife in the passenger seat.

The development comes as Andrew’s legal team reportedly wish to question the husband of accuser Virginia Giuffre and her psychologist.

Ms Giuffre has accused Andrew of having sex with her on three occasions when she was 17. Andrew – who had his military titles and patronages stripped by the Queen – has denied the allegations.

‘Bills are mounting up’

MailOnline also claims Andrew has complained to associates about how the case could affect him financially.

A royal source said: “Until very recently it appears the absolute enormity of this case and the consequences he faces has not hit him.

He fears complete financial ruin.

“Now the bills are mounting up and the possibility of a settlement, or even worse a judgement against him, is being widely discussed. He fears complete financial ruin.
