Virginia Giuffre did not sign a non-disclosure agreement as part of her settlement with Prince Andrew, her lawyer says – paving the way for her to speak out about the alleged sexual abuse.
The Queen’s disgraced son reached a multi-million-pound settlement with Ms Giuffre on Tuesday to stop her civil lawsuit against him going to trial.
But Ms Giuffre’s lawyer has confirmed she did not sign an NDA as part of the agreement – meaning she is free to tell her story publicly.
The Duke of York is now facing questions about his role in public life and how he plans to fund the financial settlement – which some reports suggested could be as much as £12m.
The sum, which has not been disclosed, is owed to Ms Giuffre and a charity “in support of women’s rights”.
There is speculation the Queen could use private funds to help cover the costs.
Meanwhile York Central MP Rachael Maskell has called for the Duke of York to renounce his title and give up his association with the city out of respect.
The lawsuit alleged the duke sexually assaulted Ms Giuffre on three occasions when she was a 17-year-old victim of sex trafficking by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew has denied the allegations.
Shame he couldn’t find the evidence that proved he was actually at pizza express Woking that day!
Queen* (the British taxpayer) to help pay settlement.
So nice. She probably sold the movie rights to netflix and a book to some famous publisher. Lol
