gathering evidence to establish more facts and pin down this case. at the same time, there may be a dual track where people are talking about possibly a negotiated settlement outside of actually going to court. i think the big question now will be, what this actually go to court? that will depend on what prince andrew s team can offer financially and watch virginia giuffre s side will accept terms of an apology and form of written words which both can agree to. form of written words which both can aaree to. . ~ form of written words which both can aaree to. ., ,, ,., form of written words which both can aaree to. ., ,, agree to. thank you, we will come back to you agree to. thank you, we will come back to you later agree to. thank you, we will come back to you later for agree to. thank you, we will come back to you later for more - agree to. thank you, we will come | back to you later for more analysis. we will remind viewers of the breaking years we have just had to and from reu
