The Duke of York has arrived back in the UK following claims that he had sex with an underage girl.
Sky News understands Prince Andrew flew home on a private jet from a ski resort in Verbier, Switzerland, following allegations made in court papers in the US.
Buckingham Palace has in recent days issued two denials over the woman's claims that she was forced to have underage sex with the prince.
It has "emphatically denied" the Duke had sexual contact with the woman, who has reportedly been named as Virginia Roberts.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman insisted "any suggestion of impropriety with under-age minors" was "categorically untrue".
Sky Reporter Harriet Hadfield said: "We think it's likely he will return to his home in Windsor, which actually makes a face-to-face meeting today with the Queen unlikely as she's in Sandringham.
"So perhaps an initial phone call today is more likely."
Scotland Yard has confirmed it has not received a complaint relating to the case, but added it would investigate if an allegation was made.
Two Sunday newspapers have published details of interviews with the woman, who reportedly named Prince Andrew in US court documents.
Her claim is part of a lawsuit in connection with American billionaire and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - a former friend of the Duke.
Andrew was photographed with Epstein in New York two years after his release from prison in 2009, and has faced criticism over their friendship.
In an interview in 2011 he denied any sexual contact with any of the young women connected to the banker.
The woman claims that between 1999 and 2002 she "was forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor" in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.
She is believed to have been 17 at the time - underage in US law.
The accusation is reportedly contained in a motion filed in a Florida court this week which is part of a lawsuit over how prosecutors handled Epstein's case.
The Duke is understood to be planning to attend the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, later this month, despite the controversy.
An associate of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, has branded the claims against her as "untrue" and "obvious lies" after she, too, was reportedly named in the court documents.
But the woman has hit back, saying in a statement: "These types of aggressive attacks on me are exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent and the reason why I did for a long time.
"That trend should change. I'm not going to be bullied back into silence."
