EXCLUSIVE: Prince Andrew “rues the day” he made an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, believing he lost his chance to clear his name, a friend of the disgraced prince has told The Daily Beast.
The friend maintained that the Dershowitz case was, regardless, a factor in Andrew’s current thinking.
However, the queen’s death has also changed the emotional calculation for Andrew, his friend said. Asked if the death of his mother was responsible for his apparent newfound wish to refute Giuffre’s claims, the friend said, “He made the settlement for her sake, so her death obviously changed things.”
For example, the author Daphne Barak, who conducted a jailhouse interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, recently told, “I am very close to the people most close to [Andrew]… There is a feeling right now that he settled too quickly, he might have misunderstood that when he gave up the titles that they would not be given back to him. It’s a tough reality for him. If indeed he was forced to settle for something he didn’t do...
Andrew has few social outlets but one that does remain is shooting parties. While he mostly now lives a quiet, almost reclusive life at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, he is thought to have spent several days and weekends over the winter season shooting at the grand estates of the friends who have continued to stand by him in recent years.
