Accused of sexual assault, Prince Andrew has numerous legal costs and lawyers has settled. While he fears that he will soon be ruined, the Duke of York would however retain the support of his mother, Elizabeth II.
Prince Andrew soon to be ruined? accused of sexual assault, the duke of york has to pay numerous court and attorney fees. If he rushed to conclude the sale of a Swiss chalet of 17 million pounds, the father of princesses Beatrice and Eugenie has many debts and should in particular pay legal fees of at least 2 million pounds . Legal experts meanwhile believe Prince Andrew will have to pay up to £10million to Virginia Giuffre to prevent the case from going to court. A royal source said: “Until very recently, it seems that the sheer enormity of this case and the consequences he faces did not strike him. Now the bills are piling up and the possibility of a settlement, or even worse a judgment against him, is widely discussed; he fears complete financial ruin.“
This source explained:Andrew had been told that all of this would go away in time and nothing happened, leaving him facing an extraordinary battle to save even a crumb of his reputation. There’s a very real possibility that he’s completely broke.” Yes Elizabeth II continues to support her son, but she will not help him pay the money he owes to Virginia Giuffre. Sources have suggested the Queen of England would instead privately pay the cost of her son’s £300,000 annual security bill if he were left penniless. Palace insiders suggested that while such a move was not approved, if it were to be, it would be likely to cause further friction within the royal family. And for good reason, the prince harry and Meghan Markle had to pay for their security themselves after leaving their royal duties.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “With the Queen’s consent and approval, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and royal patronages were returned to the Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to hold public office and defends himself in this case as a private citizen.“
