Washington. Less than three weeks ago, the US lawyers of the fallen Queen’s son sounded Prinz Andrew confident that the British royal in New York absolutely wanted to face a process in order to eliminate the allegations of long-ago abuse against him. All Smoke Candles:
Plaintiff Victoria Giuffre’s attorney said in a court writ in New York on Tuesday that there is unlikely to be a trial for Andrew. If the responsible Richter shouldn’t intervene at the last minute, the case is as good as off the table.

Prince Andrew was previously stripped of all titles
Andrew and the 38-year-old have reached an out-of-court settlement for a previously undisclosed sum in the case that has shaken the British monarchy for years and has made Andrew, who has had all his titles revoked, a pariah at the court Queen has made.
Giuffre was one of the girls in the clutches of the condemned Jeffrey Epstein, who was on best terms with Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew distances himself from Epstein, who escaped another trial in 2019 by suicide in prison, through his lawyers.
Andrew will make a “significant donation”.
However, he does not admit to having sexually assaulted Giuffre, who was 17 at the time. He approves of her, however, as “abuse victim and “suffered after unfair public attacks”.
Andrew wants to donate to a self-help organization for victims of violence founded by Giuffre “significant donation” afford, according to the documents. Insiders in the US media assume a “high amount in the millions”.
Andrew – Payment equals admission of guilt
What is not yet known: Can Giuffre continue to talk about her intimate encounters with Andrew speak publicly? Or is there a kind of vow of silence associated with the agreement?
According to chroniclers of the case, the absence of a trial in which unsavory details (keyword: sweat) would have been spread is “good news” for Prince Andrew and the royal family. The downside: Andrew digging deep into his pockets to settle the matter at the last minute comes as a surprise admission of guilt same.
