They relate to Johanna Sjoberg who has claimed Andrew groped her breast in 2001 at the home of his billionaire paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Of the 170 documents being released in the US, 67 concern Ms Sjoberg and relate to a 2015 defamation case brought by another of Andrew’s accusers, Virginia Roberts, against his friend, the now-jailed Epstein conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Ms Roberts’ lawyer Sigrid McCawley calls it “disturbing testimony corroborating what lies at the core of this case — Maxwell was involved in facilitating the sexual abuse of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein”.

Last week, New York judge Loretta Preska ordered the hundreds of files to be unsealed.

The 30-page summary of Ms Sjoberg’s evidence from the 2015 case will be unsealed alongside claims about a hidden Maxwell email account — which could reveal details of her conversations with Andrew, 63.

Ms Sjoberg previously claimed the duke laughingly fondled her breast while posing with a Spitting Image puppet of himself.

Andrew denies all wrongdoing.
