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.

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.

Well, not exactly a denial, he said he had no recollection of ever meeting VG.
Prince Andrew: Key moments from his famous Newsnight interview
The prince was interviewed in 2019 about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis.
www.bbc.co.uk
"Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has said
it is disgusting that taxpayers are subsiding him to live in a 30-room mansion with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson
when he should be paying £200,000 a year.
It came after yet another shocking twist in the royal-Epstein scandal
when it emerged last night
he hasn't paid rent on his palatial property for 22 years.
Andrew had to carry out £7.5million of refurbishment work when he took the property on in 2003.
He was given a 75-year lease in return for a one-off payment of £1million.
His rent was believed to be upwards of £260,000 a year,
with a legal requirement to keep the property in a good state of repair.
However, sources at Windsor say the house is a virtual 'money pit' and there have long been claims Andrew has been struggling with its upkeep."
