Prince Andrew Settles Giuffre Lawsuit for Reported $12 Million
Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, ending her federal civil lawsuit before it reached trial. The settlement included a financial payment widely reported as approximately $12 million (some UK outlets reported as low as £3 million) and a donation to Giuffre's victims' rights charity. Andrew admitted no wrongdoing. Queen Elizabeth II formally stripped him of his remaining honorary military roles and the use of his HRH title.
