Former Prince Andrew borrowed 12 million euros to settle Virginia Giuffre's case; yet to pay back: Report

Former Prince Andrew, Duke of York, has reportedly not yet repaid the 12 million euros borrowed from the Royal Family to settle the sexual abuse allegations brought against him by Virginia Giuffre in 2022. This significant amount was intended to resolve the lawsuit without going to trial, as Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual misconduct when she was a minor, a claim he has consistently denied. The financial arrangement has raised eyebrows, particularly following Andrew’s unsuccessful attempt to sell his Swiss chalet, which he hoped would help cover the repayment. The situation further complicates his already strained public image and reignites discussions about his connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender. The unresolved nature of Andrew's debt and his ongoing legal troubles continue to cast a shadow over his association with the British royal family, prompting concerns over financial accountability and the implications for the monarchy's reputation.
