Duke of York to give evidence under oath as part of civil sex assault case

The Duke of York is due to give evidence under oath next month as part of the US civil sex assault case against him.

Andrew will face a deposition on 10 March in London, in what has been described as a neutral location.

On Sunday, the monarch will become the first British sovereign to reach 70 years on the throne.

Andrew has strenuously denied all allegations.

In a separate letter to the high court, Kaplan also requested testimony from Walker on questions about the presence of the duke and Giuffre at Tramp nightclub in March 2001 and any interactions the pair had.

The civil sex assault trial is scheduled to take place between September and December.
