An eyewitness who claims she saw Prince Andrew dancing with his alleged sex abuse victim Virginia Giuffre - on the same night he said he was at Pizza Express - will testify in court.
Shukri Walker has reportedly agreed to appear at the upcoming civil case in the US - where she will tell the court that she saw the Duke of York at Tramp nightclub in London back in 2001.
Somali-born Ms Walker, who lives in London, is expected to stand by a written statement she gave to the FBI, in which she said she vividly remembered apologising to the Queen's son after standing on his foot on the dancefloor, to which she claims he replied: 'No problem.'
She claims Ms Giuffre - aged 17 at the time - was with Andrew, while the royal says he has 'no recollection' of meeting her.
Andrew, 61, is being sued by Ms Giuffre, now 38, in New York over claims he sexually assaulted her on three occasions.

Ms Giuffre claims one of the alleged attacks happened the night after she visited the Tramp nightclub with him.
Alleged witness Ms Walker said: 'He (Andrew) looked like he was having a great time.
'And he was with this young girl who was close to my own age, perhaps even a bit younger than me.
'The young woman wasn't smiling, it was the opposite of smiles.
'They were with the woman who (had) just been arrested, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Epstein. I will never forget the night because I was told this is a real Prince.'
Andrew also wiped the back of his hand across his face several times, she claimed. The Duke infamously said he 'does not sweat' due to a medical condition.
A source with knowledge of development told the Mirror: 'Shukri is totally convinced she saw Andrew that night and is prepared to stand up in court to say so.

So far only one person has come forward to state publicly that they saw Prince Andrew dancing with Virginia Roberts in Tramp on the night of March 10, 2001.
In August last year, more than 19 years after they allegedly shared the dancefloor, a London businesswoman gave an account of what she saw.
Somali-born Shukri Walker (pictured) — also known as Shukri Mohamed — said she had decided to speak out after seeing the Duke's Newsnight denials. She told the Sun in a front-page 'exclusive' story that she had also been in Tramp on the night in question and claimed to remember the Duke — and in considerable detail. In fact, she claimed she had trodden on his foot on the dancefloor. Andrew had said 'No problem' when she apologised.
She reportedly recalled: 'He looked like he was having a great time. And he was with this young girl who was close to my own age, perhaps even a bit younger than me.' (Records suggest Ms Shukri was around 28 at the time.) The young woman 'wasn't smiling, it was the opposite of smiles'.
Ms Walker added: 'They were with the woman who has just been arrested, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Epstein. I will never forget the night because I was told this is a real Prince.' Andrew wiped the back of his hand across his face several times, she claimed.
Her lawyer told the Sun that they had offered her testimony to the FBI, but it had been politely declined.
When approached by the Mail at her home in north London, Ms Walker told us: 'I am a sex-trafficking victim.' She claimed journalists hadn't (previously)
