The Duke of York will be given them in Britain in a ‘difficult’ feat that could take weeks, the American’s legal team claimed.

The heir to the throne, 72, was behind the wheel of a Range Rover as he made his way past the Balmoral estate back to his own neighbouring Birkhall residence with just an aide for company.

The Prince of Wales had been touring Scotland as part of his latest round of royal engagements with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and arrived at Birkhall on Thursday.
Senior royals have gathered at The Queen’s Scottish holiday home Balmoral Castle in the wake of the sex abuse allegations lobbied against disgraced Prince Andrew by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
The Duke of York, 61, had already arrived in Balmoral where he faced his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Monday after news of the sensational law suit broke.
