Prince Andrew settles US civil sex assault case

[Flat Foot]

Not always the popular viewpoint but there's sense to both sides to settle (and most civil case do end up in a settlement, the courts would collapse without). The "I'd have my day in court" brigade take a huge risk.

As for Ms Giuffre, I can't say I blame her for settling vs a protracted court case where your teenage life is put on show and someone is trying to disprove your story.

£12m is of course a lot of money but the sub-masters who took on the Post Office and 'won' £58m only got £12m once legal costs were factored in, equating to £20k each and aren't eligible to claim off the government scheme setup afterwards.

Exactly this.

On the news earlier some legal fella in America says he could still face a legal prosecution regardless of anything he may have paid for on his get out arrangement.
The Queen will likely foot the bill.

I am no lover of the royals but in the mix here are a lot of innocent people, who must be feeling really down his daughters still have to live in public knowing what their dad did, my view i would be happy to see him banged up for a very long time

I think the royals and the like are taught/ conditioned from birth that they are not "normal" ,are above society and basically can do what they like.
For proof..Read above.

I think his ex wife knew what he was like and cleared off long before it broke. And can say nothing in case she had an accident in a tunnel.

Oh the grand old Duke of York,
He had twelve million quid,
He gave it to someone he never met,
For something he never did!
