Queen Elizabeth II Played A Major Part In Prince Andrew, Virginia Giuffre Settling Out of Court [DETAILS]
Until now, Prince Andrew has been embarrassed more than he has ever been embarrassed in his whole life.
Duke of York and his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, have agreed to settle their civil sexual abuse case without going to court, it was announced on Tuesday. This is a huge victory for both of them.
According to the Telegraph, which got its hands on the court documents, the disgraced royal will make a huge donation to Giuffre's favorite charity, which helps people who have been hurt.
It also looks like Queen Elizabeth II has played a big part in why her son, who is said to be her favorite, is out of court.
People said that some money would come from Her Majesty, who has also paid for his legal fight, which cost a lot of money.
An insider told the magazine "The walls were coming together quickly. After his deposition, he might have been so hurt that no one could save him or pay for his settlement."
Apparently, it took about ten days to agree on the basic terms of the settlement.
This means that Prince Andrew will not have the jury trial he had previously asked for, which was supposed to start later this year but will not now.
But now, there is anger at how the 95-year-old monarch has been forced to bail out his 61-year-old son, who gets his money from the Royal Navy, which is the only source of income he has. There are calls for the public to know who is paying for his bills.
In the lead-up to the Queen's upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer, news comes out that she's going to pay some of the costs herself.
Virginia Giuffre 'Victory'
Since the revelation, the father-of-two has always denied all of Giuffre's claims.
In a document submitted to a US court, it read, "The parties will file a stipulated dismissal upon Ms. Giuffre's receipt of the settlement (the sum of which is not being disclosed)."
"Prince Andrew plans to make a big donation to Ms. Giuffre's charity in support of the rights of people who have been hurt."
It went on to say that "Prince Andrew has never meant to attack Ms. Giuffre's character, and he accepts that she has both been a victim of abuse and been the victim of unfair public attacks."
Lisa Bloom, a lawyer for eight people who were harmed by Jeffrey Epstein, called the settlement a "victory" for Giuffre.
Another royal author, Penny Junor, said that the Duke of York's settlement is now a huge relief to the British royal family.
