Prince Andrew has reportedly avoided “multiple attempts” to serve him legal papers on behalf of his sex-assault accuser — and has bolted to the safety of mom Queen Elizabeth II’s Scottish getaway, just days before the first hearing.
Lawyers for Virginia Roberts Giuffre — who is suing Andrew in New York — had already conceded that it would be “difficult” to serve the 61-year-old royal in person.
The scandal-scarred royal has since been a recluse at his home in the Royal Lodge in Windsor — where security guards have turned away lawyers trying to serve the US court papers, according to The Sun.
After successfully avoiding “multiple attempts” in the past two weeks, Andrew on Tuesday bolted for an even safer location — his mother the monarch’s Scottish estate, Balmoral, the paper noted.
He was photographed in a car with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, as the pair drove from their shared home to the queen’s 50,000-acre estate, where they had been earlier in the summer, the outlet said.
