Cawthorne blasted Andrew’s approach, arguing he was making the same mistakes Maxwell’s legal team made — attacking the credibility of the accuser, questioning memory, and casting the lawsuit as a money grab. According to Cawthorne, that strategy was “seriously mis-advised.” He said Andrew’s lawyers seemed to be spending vast sums for a defence that was unlikely to succeed and that choosing to “victim-blame” Giuffre mirrored Maxwell’s defence line: seeking to shift focus away from the allegations and onto the accuser’s alleged motivations. In Cawthorne’s view, using tactics like “false memory” arguments or psychological attacks against Giuffre wasn’t just ethically questionable — it was legally risky, especially given Maxwell’s defeat with similar lines of defence.
Cawthorne implied that by adopting Maxwell’s strategy, Andrew was painting a target on himself rather than protecting himself. In his book charting Andrew’s fall from grace, Cawthorne describes how the prince’s pattern of privilege, arrogance, and poor advice made him vulnerable to exactly this kind of exposure.
