A former royal aide has cautioned that Prince Andrew’s efforts to renegotiate an agreement outside of his out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre will not lead to him being restored to the Royal Family.
Former Royal Aide Warns Prince Andrew Over Trying To Backtrack On His Virginia Giuffre Settlement
Andrew settled in order to conclude Giuffre’s allegation that she had been coerced into having intercourse with him on three different events when she was only 17-years-old. While that may have been the case, the agreement did not include any admission of culpability.
With that being said, reports stress that Andrew could challenge the settlement amid claims that the infamous photograph of him and Virgina, purported to have been taken at Ghislaine Maxwell’s home may not be authentic due to the latter’s claims.
However, the ex-royal courtier stated that due to the Duke of York’s extended association with Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles III is expected to keep him at a distance from the other working royals.
In some comments, the former aide said: “The king will have been hoping for a quiet run-up to the coronation … untroubled by outside noises.
“Even if you want to argue about the size of the bath, Andrew made the settlement.” This is entirely understandable when we look at how King Charles III has fared since becoming the monarch.
He has already been subjected to two egg-throwing incidents which shows how unpopular he is compared to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
In addition, Prince Harry’s memoir has already made scathing remarks about the firm, with question marks hanging over whether or not he and Meghan Markle will attend.
The fans on social media felt that this was the right move. This was on the basis that Andrew would not have settled unless there were some credible grounds to hold him liable.
One person wrote: “You don’t pay millions in a settlement unless there is some substance in the claim.” So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
