Queen Elizabeth “will help” Prince Andrew (and “save” the Platinum Jubilee)

Closed chapter, or almost. Andrew of Yorkinvolved in a tangle for months sex scandalreached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accuses him of raping her when she was still underage. A complaint that will not arrive in front of a court: the prince’s lawyers have in fact announced that there will be none civil trial by virtue of the stipulation of an economic pact between the parties, the terms of which have been filed with the Manhattan courthouse.

The amount should have remained secretbut from Great Britain there are already rumors about a possible figure: “Over 12 million pounds (ie almost 15 million euros, ed) », writes the Daily Telegraph, which also speculates that the Queen Elizabeth «Will contribute economically» through «funds from the Duchy of Lancaster », which is his property. From Buckingham Palace, for now, everything is silent, but the real commentators would like to clarity on who – and in what quantity – will put the money.

«The prince did what only one privileged elite can afford to do: buy your own way out», He writes on social media Omid Scobie, always attentive to the events of the Palace. «He took advantage of love (and of Cheque book) of his elderly mother in the very year that the children should only have relieve her of thoughts. In the end, in this affair, he did not take responsibility ». Despite, until a few months ago, the direction looked different.

So he forced him to fix things right away, ”he told Sky News the royal biographer Angela Levin. «I’m afraid, however, that the story will drag on until next yearsince there is no clause in the agreement that prevents the accuser from speaking. ‘

According to reports Timesin fact, Virginia Giuffre will be forbidden to public speaking of the case “only during jubilee celebrations», At the end of which he can then return to tell his truthsperhaps «within a biography“. The conditionals remain a must: the court staff already in the past guaranteed that His Majesty he wouldn’t open his wallet to help Andrea, who in the meantime has sold the chalet in the mountains to accumulate liquidity.

But it will be enough to fulfill theonerous agreement? And most importantly, he will be able to put a stone on it the rough affair? One thing is certain: we will hardly see Prince Andrew in the future close to the royal family on official occasions.
