LONDON, United Kingdom – The settlement announced Tuesday between Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre allows Britain’s monarchy to “move on”, just as Queen Elizabeth II celebrates a landmark 70th year on the throne, royal commentators said.
Instead, he has agreed to make a “substantial donation” to a charity established by Giuffre that supports sex trafficking victims, and will no longer be questioned under oath by her lawyers.The decision is seen as not only protecting the prince from further highly damaging revelations and attention, but also helps limit the British monarchy’s exposure to the years-long scandal.
However, Nikkhah noted the institution would recover from the controversy. “The royal family has survived many scandals over the years.”As pressure grew on the family to act, the Queen stripped her second, and reportedly favourite, son of his honorary military titles and charitable roles last month, leaving him with no public duties.
Joe Little, of Majesty magazine, said the settlement was likely being welcomed by other members of the royal family but noted it did not exonerate the prince. The events, which include a military parade and music concert, street parties, a nationwide “Big Jubilee Lunch” and a “Platinum Pudding Competition”, are seen as a key opportunity to renew Britons’ affinity for the institution.
Britain’s longest-serving monarch recently announced her “sincere wish” that Camilla, his wife, should ultimately be known as Queen Consort.
