The Duke of York's legal team has asked permission to take evidence under oath from Robert Giuffre, saying he is likely to have information about his wife's "alleged emotional and psychological harm".
Andrew's lawyers also want to question Mr Giuffre about his wife's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and the claim that Ms Giuffre had a "role in recruiting underage girls" for Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme.
