Andrew settles out of court

It comes after royal fans insisted the news of Andrew’s settlement will be respite for the Queen.

A court document released yesterday read: “Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out of court settlement.

“Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity in support of victims rights.”

Ms Giuffre accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was 17, allegations he’s always denied.

The document added: “Andrew regrets his association with Epstein…

“…and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.”
