Judge Dismisses Prince Andrew Vs. Virginia Giuffre Sexual Abuse Case
21:18 GMT 08.03.2022 (Updated: 15:18 GMT 28.05.2023) Last month, media outlets reported that Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre settled a sexual assault lawsuit filed in August. In the suit, Giuffre claimed that the son of Queen Elizabeth forced her to have sexual intercourse three times when she was a minor.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan dismissed on Tuesday the civil sexual abuse case against Prince Andrew after an estimated $16 million settlement was reached with his accuser,
Virginia Giuffre, according to the court filing.
Earlier in the day, the
sides officially signed an agreement to drop the case.
“Plaintiff Virginia Giuffre and defendant Prince Andrew, Duke of York, hereby stipulate to the dismissal of this action, with prejudice,” states the one-page letter filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court.
The Sun earlier reported that
Prince Charles would lend his brother money for paying part of the multi-million-dollar settlement. The Queen, who financed his legal battle, is also reportedly going to contribute to the payment.
Elizabeth II was said to cover part of the amount personally, using the profits from private ownership, the Duchy of Lancaster.
Prince Andrew is expected to repay Charles and his mother after closing a $17 million deal to sell a chalet in the Swiss ski resort village of Verbier.
The exact amount of the compensation has not been revealed, but news outlets claim it amounts to $16.3 million. If Prince Andrew does not repay his debts, his assets will be blocked, according to reports.
