The court documents also showed that her lawyers had sent a letter to Buckingham Palace asking to interview the prince under oath.
In her sworn affidavit, the woman described Buckingham Palace’s denial that sexual contact ever took place between the pair as “false and hurtful to me.”
The prince is due to host a reception Thursday for business leaders gathered for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Interview request
The woman, identified by Buckingham Palace as Virginia Roberts, first named the prince in a civil motion filed December 30 in the U.S. District Court in southern Florida in which she claims she was forced to have sex with several men. She is referred to as Jane Doe No. 3 in the legal filings.
In the letter, submitted to the Florida court this week with her sworn affidavit, a “formal request” is made for attorneys Paul Cassell and Bradley Edwards to interview Prince Andrew “under oath regarding interactions that you had with Jane Doe No. 3 beginning in approximately early 2001. Jane Doe No. 3 was then 17 years old.”

“Given what he knows and has seen, I was hoping that he would simply voluntarily tell the truth about everything.”
Andrew is a son of Queen Elizabeth II and a brother of Prince Charles, the next in line for the British throne.
Roberts and another woman are seeking to join two other women who are arguing in federal court for the U.S. government to reexamine its case involving Epstein.
The investment banker agreed to a state plea deal in 2007 and began serving an 18-month sentence in 2008, according to court documents. He pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and procurement of a minor for prostitution.
