Prince Andrew has reached an out-of-court settlement with plaintiff Virginia Giuffre

This is according to a court document published on Tuesday. Giuffre had accused the prince of sexually abusing her three times in 2001, when she was only 17 years old - accusations he vehemently denies.

Andrew is also alleged to have had contacts with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (†66). Epstein "loaned" her to Andrew at the time, Giuffre said. "The Duke of York will defend himself as a private citizen," the palace coolly commented.

@MarieAnnUK: Does anyone know why Piers Morgan is ranting so much about Meghan Markle but barely mentions Prince Andrew?
