This must have been such an inconvenience to him caused by us “little people”.
So you can commit a crime then pay them off most ppl can’t do that and have to face to the consequences a perfect example of if you are rich the law means nothing
And to think that his train wreck of an ex wife went on social media defending her knight in shining armor calling him the most principled man she has ever known. She must be rubbing elbows with the absolute dredges of society!
Does this mean he accepts her claims and is paying for them and has he paid her legal bill too? Who knows! Not me.
There are a few unresolved issues here, where is the money coming from, what will he do going forward, what effect will this have on the remaining Royals? So, if the Queen pays then that could cause a constitutional crisis in a jubilee year and just give more ammo to the republicans. A job for him on one of the Royal Estates would seem to be the only option away from public gaze, he made a balls up of promoting British Business around the world and no country wants him as Governor or Ambassador. The remains Royals need to circle the wagons with The Princess Royal, Prince Charles and Prince William and his wonderful wife and get out and support the Queen and the people to ensure the continuation of the institution. They also need to cut out H&M and stop reacting to everything they say ignore them completely and they will lose relevance very quickly. Andrew in Scotland or Sandringham also ensures he fades from public thought.
I want to know who is paying this, if it is the Queen then this is a constitutional crisis issue, as the Sovereign would be paying a woman whom her Son allegedly had unlawful sex within the USA. If that is not a problem I do not know what is. If he has no money of his own, who is paying?
Innocent men don’t hand over £20M – period !
Way to look guilty Andrew! Epstein, Maxwell, Andrew. The company we keep says a lot about us. Allegedly of course.
The damage to the Royal Family has already been done.
Guilty as sin would any normal person settle for millions out of court to somebody they never met.
Tarnished forever. If he wasn’t guilty he should have gone to trial in court. The fact he’s settled out of court may seem to most that he’s accepted he was actually guilty.
So guilty as sin just as we all knew! No rich person gives money away without a fight.
Sparing the Queens blushes is clearly far more important than silencing accusations that could otherwise end in a criminal court, as seen with Bill Cosby previously.
Once the accusations are made it should have gone to court these out of court settlements just proves if you are rich enough you can buy your way out.
“That’s the only reason I can assume this happened” – what about the fact he might be guilty? I know GBNews has a hard-on for the monarchy, but come on challenge your guests
To ordinary people this will look like a pay off by a guilty prince. Money can clearly buy you virtually anything . The pay off is tantamount to an admission of guilt. Absolutely appalling. He is finished for life after this.
Poor people would have been extradited to the USA to answer the charges.
A former “Royal Butler’ SHOCKED by this settlement???? I don’t think it comes as much of a shock to most of us. We’ve all heard of the MBE Award maybe they ought to introduce another the MBD (Manipulative. Bewildered. Deluded.) Which seems to illustrate Andrew’s response to this lawsuit! It would seem there’s adequate space on his numerous uniforms to pin the new award! Are we really surprised by this settlement despite his assertions of innocence and intentions to robustly defend himself in court and Ms Guiffre’s insistance that she would not settle unless he acknowledged and apologised for his actions.
I reckon he offered her unlimited trips to Pizza Express
Isn’t it fergie that’s settled with her ?? Big difference x
This is Giufres career. Compromising powerful men in her former career as a high class tart, then blackmailing them with reputation damaging lawsuits unless they keep paying her hush money.
Gary Glitter Prince Andrew Michael Jackson two of them could afford a top lawyer one of them is banged up the three of them as bad as one another
Even if PA wan the jury’s trial, a lots of private things would be dragged out and made public. That’s why the woman insists on a law case she is certain to gain. This kind of thing has the nature that the more you wash it, the more muddy it becomes. The quick settlement without an apology from PA as demanded previously by her lawyer indicates the case is weak and the settlement is not as large.
Won’t matter if the Monarchy is abolished.
Vg crapped herself when he insisted on a jury trial…I think she ran to prince andrew and said give me 500k and I’ll go away like I did with epstein….he’s apologised for his connection to epstein but not to vg as he did nothing wrong!
Andrew has been told to settle
Just proved your guilty Randy Andy.
He guilty as sin she say never the money but go that bigs pay out
Thought he lost all Royal titles
It is the same as a guilty plea,
Hey Andrew, can I have 20 million quid please, you’ve never met me either ? 
I bet he’s sweating now.
of course he is guilty. mummy would pay.
But,but he was innocent remember………
The Prince is not innocent and he knows it. The Prince should start some enterprise in farming or land restoration. .
One must get over such trifles, one has a life to lead and one needs a few holidays, ‘and’ one needs mummy to spend the peoples money to help one out a bit now and again,….one seriously does deserve this type of help as one was born to it!
High time Prince Andrew, does meaningful charity work,with out any press coverage .He is a out of date playboy . Disgraceful behavior for far too long.
Why doesn’t Prince Andrew do meaningful charity work , with out all the press coverage.High time he rolled his sleeves up instead of a out of date playboy.
What comes next – a 365 days a year holiday. Retire! – spend time in other countries – my arse.
They could never have allowed him to take the stand, he would have embarrassed the royal family and the nation, he is nor the brightest chap in the world.
So now he admits it? That means he was also lying!!
He’s taken the cowards way out ……….. we knew he would ! He’ll be keeping his ‘ title ‘ then ?
He was always going to pay her off
Statistics and Court history tell us that between 70 and 90% of these cases are settled out of court. If he went ahead with the case either way it would have gone to appeal all the time overshadowing the Jubilee. One other point she has adamantly claimed from the start that it wasn’t about money. The one thing we dont jnow is who instigated settlement? If she was so adamant for justice why settle out of court. Im not saying she right or wrong innocent or guilty but everything you claim against one is also true of the other. The one absolute we take from this is we dont know and will never know because everything is now speculation.
He would lose the court case thats why it happened. Get a grip !!!
Makes him guilty we new any way
Get away with anything if you have enough money 
Everyone will now think he is guilty, faced with his situation, i would have settled to, after all, the judge did rule VG was a victim, and that was before any evidence has been presented, the judge ruled that her book could not be entered into evidence, he also ruled any of her statements could not be entered as evidence and he also ruled that none of her confessions could be entered as evedence including her confession and admission to under aged child sex trafficking for Epstien, sorry but i do not see he had a choice, the sadest thing is, everyone seems to have forgotten about all of those things. I think he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t, if he did fight the charges, he would have lost far more money in leagal fees than paying her off, she settled for five hundred thousand with epstien and he was worth far more than Andrew , i would say she settled for about the same with Andrew, i doubt it was millions… i would also say, he made the best decision he could under the circumstances
To me, that just says that he’s guilty until proven innocent.
Admission of guilt what was he afraid of .
Maybe the Giuffre team showed their trump card and he would have been a shit witness, lets have it right.
How can an innocent person pay any amount of money out of court? I smell shite
What chance did he get of a fair trial in the US?
He has to make a living… doesn’t he, or, is he going to be paid to go away and be quiet.
Come on people. This was settled because of the royal family and more so the Queen. Andrew wanted it to go to court! Obviously advised to settle. But please bear in mind this woman already had a settlement years previous! Her solicitor stated that court or not win or lose she wanted a settlement anyway. So if all this is true and you were abused you would not settle and you’d stop at nothing to get it to court…..this was all about the money honey!!!! Also where are the names of all the other high profile abusers or is it a case of got photo go for royal guaranteed payout!! WHO ARE THE OTHERS!!!!
never heard such rubbish money talks and you walk away free that’s what people do when you have Billions
Please stop talking about this and start talking about Bill Durham and the crooked Clinton campaign.
Them and us! It will remain this way no matter what we think.
Money talks crime walks
He should be in jail. Typical! just pay yourself out of trouble
He is another rich “pero” this kind of thing has been going for centuries
FGS IT WAS A CIVIL CASE SHE WAS AFTER MONEY OR WHY DIDNT SHE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE .THE SUE FRENZY IN AMERICA NEEDS STOPPING IT TARNISHING ALL REAL VICTIMS . BTW HIS FATHER WOULD OF LEFT HIM MONEY IN HIS WILL .
At the end of the day…it’s all about money.
So he lied in his interview. Now he’s admitted it paid for by the Tax payer, via his Mother.
The Firm is tying up loose ends. No matter the outcome of the trial, Prince Andrew can’t come back to public life so why go through all the dirty laundry from both parties.
An innocent person doesn’t pay for something he hasn’t done just proves he is guilty and as usual the tax payer will have to fund this
Can he now travel to the United States ?
Andrew let his little head tell his big head how to behave He’s paying the price
Rubbish. If Andrew went to court he would lose.
Suppose the propaganda will start to rebuild his public image and make us all forget about this. A bit like Charles and Camilla.
So he’s guilty then.
Because he’s guilty.
With jobs and businesses lost, suicides up and people dying without getting to say goodbye to their loved ones two years of restrictions and liies form the Government (i could list a lot more)…are you seriously asking us to feel sorry for the Queen.
no court case after i bought the popcorn ,
It has overshadowed the queen’s jubilee. It’s time all the royals retire.
I hope he is never seen in public again
I thought she wanted justice? Some people have a price after all
So this woman who said it was all about principles and helping other women. Now settles for ANOTHER payout……….Very confused after her being adamant she wanted her day in court and bleating on about principles………………this is not a great day for women.if he is guilty then she should have seen it through and settled for less money………..another priveleged person gets a get out of jail card because money talks
Lets be honest, this situation could happen to many innocent men. At 17 not exactly a child in British law.
If this has been settled financially does that mean she was payed off with tax payers money because he does not have his own money
Wealthy people almost always settle, that is why they are a target for lawsuits like this.
Still no talk about who the kiddies were trafficked for!
Money money money..
This proves she was not after justice for the victims of abuse she was just after the money.
I’m not sure this was a good decision for us women.
Her Majesty the Queen should meet mrs. Giuffre. And give her medal for work against abuse of youth and children. And make her dame Giuffre.
It was only ever about the money for her, not justice for women or anyone else.
Nothing has been proven, but a lot has been intimated.
Never heard so many working class people with chips on their shoulders as in these comments section.
