Prince Andrew's legal team has finally accepted that he has been correctly served with legal papers by his sex accuser. Last week his lawyer claimed that the legal papers had not been properly served in the UK, after they were left with a policeman at the gate of his Windsor mansion. For one person to sue another in a civil case, the claimant has to formally present legal papers to the other party to notify them of the action - a process known as a service of proceedings. Mr Boies – who is widely considered to have 'outwitted' Andrew's London-based legal team at every turn – said: 'Andrew's counsel have agreed that service has been made. Prince Andrew is seen with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson leaving Windsor on September 7Ms Roberts' legal team has been trying to serve Andrew with legal papers this month (pictured - they are left in a London postbox)Concerns have been expressed about the stonewalling strategy of the team – led by Mr Bloxsome – against the explosive allegations.
