Queen Elizabeth Paying For Prince Andrew’s Abuse Lawsuit Causes Public Outrage

Queen ElizabethBritish royal family news reveals the sordid tale that Queen Elizabeth is privately funding her son Prince Andrew’s legal fight against sexual assault allegations according to The Daily Telegraph. They report that the Duke’s legal woes have cost millions of dollars to date and the sky may be the limit before the case is resolved.

Royal Family News – The Queen is Paying Andrew’s Enormous Legal Bills

Prince Andrew has just recently accepted that he has been served legal papers in the case and last week added more firepower to his American legal team. According to reports he hired Melissa Lerner to work with lead counsel Andrew Brettler.

Both work at Lavely & Singer, a famous L.A.-based law firm with a reputation for making celeb’s legal problems “go away” at the same time lining their coffers.

How much money is the queen doling out to ensure that the man nicknamed “Randy Andy” gets the best defense possible? It’s thought that Brettler is charging him about $2,000 an hour. That cost is expected to soar with the addition of Lerner to the payroll. In addition Prince Andrew has a U.K.-based legal team led by Gary Bloxsome. In other words, a lot of people are making big bucks on the backs of Andrew’s sordid scandal.

Royal Family News – Prince Andrew Is Costly

The outlet reports that the Queen, “agreed to pay for her son’s defence at the beginning of last year, shortly after his disastrous Newsnight interview, in which he failed to show any empathy for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims or regret over their friendship.”

That BBC interview was meant to salvage his reputation but his train wreck performance only worsened his rep to the point that he was demoted as a senior royal and no longer allowed to represent Her Majesty. They say there is no love like a mother’s love and we guess the queen’s willingness to hand over her checkbook says everything?

Royal aides, “accept that the overall legal bill will run into millions, with the civil case likely to drag on for months or even years. The increasingly real prospect of a potential settlement, or damages payout, could cost many millions more.”

Royal Family News – Andrew Is A Royal Pain

Andrew is being sued by Virginia Roberts Giuffre who accuses him of, “sexually assaulting her on three separate occasions when she was 17.” For the record, Andrew denies everything.
