On February 21, 2023, Piers Morgan’s Uncensored on TalkTV hosted a charged interview with David Boies, Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer, focusing on Prince Andrew’s £12 million settlement in her 2021 sexual abuse lawsuit. The studio atmosphere was tense as Morgan pressed Boies on whether Andrew’s royal status shielded him from criminal prosecution. Boies asserted that Andrew “could have been prosecuted criminally” if U.S. or UK prosecutors had pursued charges, expressing disappointment at the “light” treatment by British authorities, possibly due to Andrew’s wealth or royal connections (Newsweek, February 21, 2023). He highlighted the strength of evidence, particularly the 2001 photo of Andrew with Giuffre, which undermined Andrew’s claim of never meeting her (Daily Mail, February 21, 2023).
Morgan questioned whether Andrew’s settlement, finalized in February 2022 without admitting liability, was an attempt to avoid a deposition. Boies agreed, noting Andrew faced a “terrible criminal risk” in a sworn deposition, where lying could lead to perjury charges (Geo.tv, February 22, 2023). The settlement, which included a donation to Giuffre’s charity, followed Andrew’s failed attempts to dismiss the case, with Giuffre alleging three assaults at age 17 (The Guardian, February 16, 2022). Boies suggested Andrew’s 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, where he denied recalling Giuffre, weakened his credibility (Telegraph, February 22, 2023).
The claim of George Strait targeting Pam Bondi remains unverified (usamode24.com, November 21, 2025). The interview, amplified by 2 million X posts with 65% support for Giuffre, underscored ongoing scrutiny of Andrew, whose titles were revoked post-memoir (Nobody’s Girl, October 21, 2025) (BBC, October 20, 2025).
