According to Reuters: <em>The settlement by the 61-year-old Duke of York includes an undisclosed payment to Virginia Giuffre, a woman who had accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager. The settlement, revealed on Tuesday in a Manhattan court filing, said he had never intended to malign her character.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/world\/no-way-back-for-prince-andrew-after-abuse-settlement-royal-watchers-say\/ar-AATTG3o?ocid=msedgdhp&amp;pc=U531&amp;fullscreen=true#image=1\">No way back for Prince Andrew after abuse settlement, royal watchers say (msn.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, I am going out on a limb here with this observation, but it appears to me that Prince Andrew&#8217;s time as a public member of the British royal family has come to a halt. Guiffre accused Andrew of having sex with her as part of some sex orgy orchestrated by Jeffrey Epstein, the hideous sex trafficker.<\/p>\n<p>Her Majesty the Queen already has stripped her son of his military rank and his standing as a spokesman for assorted charitable causes. Why did she do that? My hunch is that QEII believed the accusation leveled against Andrew. So, she acted proactively.<\/p>\n<p>Now comes the settlement. Andrew must not have wanted this matter to go to trial for reasons that seem quite clear: He didn&#8217;t want any public testimony that details what he allegedly did to\/with this young woman.<\/p>\n<p>He denies ever meeting her. Oh, but wait! There&#8217;s that picture of the two of them; in the background is Ghislaine Maxwell, former girlfriend of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who hanged himself in a New York City jail cell in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Goodbye, Prince Andrew.
