Joint statement from Virginia's attorney and Prince Andrew:
"Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out-of-court settlement. The parties will file an amicable dismissal of the lawsuit once Ms. Giuffre receives the settlement (the amount of which is undisclosed).
Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre's charity to support victims' rights. Prince Andrew never intended to denigrate Ms. Giuffre's character, and he recognizes that she has suffered both as a proven victim of abuse and as a result of
of the unfair public attacks. Jeffrey Epstein is known to have trafficked in countless young girls over many years. The Prince regrets his association with Epstein and acknowledges the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors who stood up for themselves and others.
He promises to express his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evil of sex trafficking and the support of its victims."
So far, Buckingham Palace has not commented
Importantly, this agreement does not mean that Prince Andrew will return to official duties as a working royal or that he will regain lost patronage.
