As the sexual assault allegations surfaced against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York was seen visiting Queen Elizabeth in Balmoral Castle in Scotland where the monarch is spending her summer vacations.

Prince Andrew's alleged sexual assault case is sparking fears of a diplomatic row between the UK and the US, UK's Daily Express quoted an Italian newspaper as saying.

Citing an article  published by " Il Giornale" , the report said the lawsuit for the alleged sexual assault of a minor against Queen Elizabeth's son could mean the end of the Royal Family and trouble for the special relationship between the US and the UK.
