A royal source told The Sun: “After the car crash of Newsnight no-one thinks a seven-hour deposition is a good idea.
“If he were to appear in court it could be many times worse and senior royals were deeply shocked when they heard that he was demanding a jury trial.”
The tabloid also claims that the pair want the case to be settled as soon as possible.
The insider claims: “There are deep, deep worries that this will get worse and worse for the family and will overshadow Platinum Jubilee celebrations.”
Andrew has denied the allegations put forward by Virginia Giuffre.

Earlier this month, the Queen made the decision to strip Andrew of his titles.
