PRINCE Andrew wants his sex assault accuser quizzed under oath in a bid to have her case thrown out.
His lawyers claim questioning would show Virginia Roberts Giuffre is “domiciled” in Australia instead of Colorado, as she says — and so a New York court may have no jurisdiction.

The 38-year-old, who alleges Andrew abused her three times when she was 17, is currently staying in Australia with husband Robert and their three children.
The Duke’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, said she was living in a ￡1million home in Perth when she filed her lawsuit and had spent less than two years in the US since moving Down Under in 2002.
A hearing on January 4 is set to determine whether the case against Andrew, 61, can proceed.
He denies her allegations.
