  • There are calls for clarity over how Prince Andrew will fund the financial settlement of a US civil sexual assault case brought by Virginia Giuffre. Please subscribe HERE bit.ly/1rbfUog
    The Duke of York agreed to pay an undisclosed sum as part of the settlement, and accepted Ms Giuffre had suffered as a victim of abuse.
    He made no admission of liability and has always denied the allegations.
    How will the Duke of York afford the payout? And might there be any contribution from the taxpayer?
    Newsnight's UK Editor Sima Kotecha reports.

    The grand old Duke Of York,
    he had 12 million quid.
    He gave it to someone he didn't know,
    for something he never did.

      His navy title is earned and thus he has every right to wear the uniform corresponding to his actual rank.

      @@ryanmac9628 just to clear this up there are two courts in the land
      Criminal courts are ran by the state and these won’t pay victims but will always bring trial without settlements - however there is burden of proof (how sure you have to be) of beyond reasonable doubt
      However Andrew has been taken through a civil court (anyone can bring a charge if they fund it themselves) -these courts don’t give huge jail time (6months for an offence) but offer damages to the victim.
      These courts have a burden of proof that is ‘on the balance of probability’ therefore it is easier to bring charges against Andrew in there courts
      Hence why the royal family knew they needed to settle in order to stop a ‘guilty’ looking verdict when Andrew would inevitably be found liable.
      Hope this helps and doesn’t come across as patronising.

      I'm no legal expert but as far as I know its just a civil case and not a criminal one. So if he hadn't settled then the case would have gone to court and the judge would then decide upon an amount not to mention he would have major legal fees to pay. So in essence its just the normal course of a civil lawsuit. Unfortunately a criminal case was never possible because especially in cases of rape and sexual abuse the evidence standards are quite high. But yes you are right he is still essentially getting off scot free possibly on account of the UK taxpayer...

    "It's no admission of guilt." In every way that matters, i.e. in the mind of the public and as far as history is concerned, this payment 100% confirms his guilt. History will record this as an admission of guilt and when her full story is detailed and it will be after his death if not before that will become the historic record of events. She may have signed a gagging order but that lapses after his death and it may all come out before.

      He doesn't (officially) get money from the Taxpayer every month.
