Royal Family News: Prince Andrew Is RELIEVED After He Settled With Sex Accuser

British royal family news shows that life is seemingly back to normal for disgraced Prince Andrew, two days after he reached an out of court settlement with his sex assault accuser. His wife Sarah Ferguson, whom he still lives with, was snapped out and about in Windsor today, and a friend spilled that Andrew is “chipper” and “relieved.” Goody for him, but now there is another set of compelling questions the public demands answers for. Namely, how exactly will the unemployed man pay what is predicted to be a multimillionaire dollar settlement, and will the queen give him public money to do so?

How Will Prince Andrew Pay?

The exact dollar amount of the settlement with Virginia Giuffre has not been made public. But legal and royal experts expect it to be in the neighborhood of ten million dollars. Outrage is being expressed in some quarters after it was reported that his 95-year old mother Queen Elizabeth paid, “£2million of his £12m sex case pay off.” As if a grown man having his elderly mom pay off a sex accuser wasn’t degenerate enough, some are demanding to know if the queen used public funds if she footed the bill.

Did Queen Elizabeth Pay Of Andrew’s Accuser?

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson was seen being driven about in her Range Rover. Elsewhere, one of Andrew’s friends reportedly dished to the Telegraph that Andrew is getting along just fine, with the scandal maybe behind him.

According to the friend Andrew envisions a public comeback to a royal role, while pundits think that prospect is nil given his battered reputation which took a major hit when he decided to settle out of court after protesting his innocence for years. He did not admit guilt in the settlement documents and he has always maintained his innocence.

Prince Charles Is Now Under the Microscope

The friend stated that Prince Andrew “is feeling relatively chipper, under the circumstances. You can understand the level of personal relief involved.” Actually, no–Most people do not know what it’s like to be dragged into court after being accused of sexual assault of a minor, denying all charges, and then handing the alleged victim millions of dollars to go away.

Now it is Prince Charles who is in hot water after his business associate was accused of being involved in a pay-to-play scheme and the Met has declared it will open an investigation into the matter.
