Prince Andrew is facing another legal bind on top of his Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Reports revealed that the Duke of York was named in lawsuit filed in Switzerland over a luxury chalet he shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, also known as Fergie.

According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of York apparently still owed money for the purchase of their family holiday home at the Verbier ski resort. The property is a wooden chalet with seven bedrooms, a sauna and an indoor swimming pool. 

The Yorks bought the holiday house in 2014 and made payment close to $17 million. However, Prince Andrew and Fergie failed to pay a huge chunk of the balance, which was around $5.9 million, on the Dec. 31, 2019 deadline. Because of the interest, they now owe the vendor at least $8 million.  

The lawyers for the vendor, Etude du Ritz, filed the legal proceedings four months passed the deadline. However, a spokesperson for the Yorks said that it will not comment on the matter since this is a legal dispute "subject to a confidentially agreement." Buckingham Palace also won't comment on the issue. 

It comes as Prince Andrew stepped back from his royal duties in November due to his interview backlash with BBC. The Duke of York was trying to explain his side over his ties with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein but the interview didn't turn out well in his favor.

Instead, it raised more questions about this friendship with the convicted sex abuser. Prince Andrew didn't apologize for his friendship with Epstein nor did he show sympathy for his victims.

One of these victims has recently spoken out and said that she had sexual relations with Prince Andrew because he was Epstein's friend. At that time, the woman, Virginia Robertson Guiffre, was only 17 years old.

Prince Andrew, however, said in the interview that he has no recollection of every meeting his accuser. Guiffre, however, has a picture of herself with Prince Andrew, which was taken in the early 2000s at one of Epstein's houses.

Prince Andrew's legal team is, reportedly, not cooperating with the inquiries regarding Epstein's cases. Apparently, the lawyers for the prosecution have reached out to Prince Andrew three times but he has yet to respond to the requests to talk to the authorities. 

Epstein, a convicted felon, took his own life in August 2019 while he was awaiting more trials in prison in the United States. Prince Andrew's legal team, however, has hired extradition law expert Clare Montgomery to defend him but some say the Duke of York is getting bad legal advice from his lawyers.

"If I avoid extradition, do I really want to have this hanging over my head and my family's head for the rest of my life?" David Boies, the lawyer for Guiffre, said. "Do I want my epitaph to be: I succeeded in escaping justice?"'
