Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor apparently borrowed millions from the late Queen Elizabeth to settle with his alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, out of court. New reports claim the former Prince borrowed cash from Prince Philip’s estate and his brother, the now-King Charles.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly owes the Royal Family £12,000,000
To avoid facing Virginia Giuffre in court, Andrew is thought to have borrowed £12,000,000 (approximately $16 million) to settle with his accuser. Virginia was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent sex trafficking victims. She also accused Andrew of assaulting her on three occasions when she was 17. In 2021, she sued the former Duke of York, and the pair reached an undisclosed out-of-court settlement.
That settlement, it now seems, was only reached due to the financial input from other royals. The Sun reports Andrew was urged to reach the settlement in order to distance himself from the scandal before the Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
“As far as anyone knows, he still has not repaid a single penny of the millions he borrowed,” a source who spoke to the newspaper added. “The money from the Royal Family bought her silence but denied Virginia her day in court.”
Per the report, Andrew intended to sell one of his holiday homes – a Swiss ski chalet – to clear his debt. This plan fell through, however. The multi-million-pound property, located in the posh Verbier resort, did not make Andrew any profit due to heavy mortgage debt.
Sadly, Virginia allegedly took her own life at the age of 41 in April last year. That was not the end of Andrew’s involvement in the scandal, however. Since then, he has been stripped of his last remaining royal titles and kicked out of his Royal Lodge mansion.
