An application seeking to force Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify in a fraud trial has been submitted by the lawyers for former Goldman Sachs banker Selman Turk.
Janes Solicitors said Mr Justice Adam Johnson will rule shortly on the witness summons.
A provisional timetable lists Dec. 10 and 14 for his evidence, with Dec. 17 and 21 as alternatives.
Turk is being sued by Turkish millionaire Nebahat Evyap Isbilen, 81, who alleges he misappropriated about 40 million pounds of her wealth, which he denies.
The link to Mountbatten-Windsor centers on a 750,000-pound payment from Isbilen's account to him and an alleged loan for a Swiss chalet.
