When one party is suing another party, isn't it normal legal practice for both parties to try to dig up dirt on each other? I'm not convinced that Andrew's legal response to a lawsuit is all that unusual.

And, is it illegal to ASK if they can check out the other party??

Wouldn’t it only be illegal if an officer checked for information against the regulations and how would that be Prince Andrew’s fault?

IMO, one should able to ask for information, it’s up to the authorities to decline.

Some of the papers are trying to put different spins on this story just to increase their revenue.

The DM often does this with a money maker, rightly or wrongly.

IMO, MOO etc.

There was no lawsuit in 2011.
PR instructed a tax payer funded bodyguard to investigate VG two days before the photo of them together was published in 2011.
VG sued PR in 2021.

Andrew lost his honors, but I'm bestowing Timeline Superkeeper on you. It's official.

Thank you! That would mean that Andrew was given advance warning that the photo would be published, and his immediate reaction was to try to obtain information that would discredit Virginia Giuffre. When that failed, he denied that he knew her, and attempted to discredit the photo.
