He doesn’t have a single option. This is out of his hands now.

This is his biggest problem. I don’t know if he’s been naive or foolish in his apparent “friendship” with Epstein or whether there was an ulterior motive to this “friendship”.
Whichever is the case is something that will now, in all likelihood, be decided in court. In the meantime however Prince Andrew has been subjected to all sorts of public speculation, name calling and accusations.
The chances of a fair trial for either the defendant or the plaintiff seem very remote.
One thing that surprises me is that I haven’t seen news of any more plaintiffs coming forward when Epstein was running such an organised abuse ring.

Yes, there have been plenty who came forward and accused Epstein and Maxwell of abuse, what I was getting at is that I haven’t seen any come forward and accuse Prince Andrew. Maybe there have and I’ve just missed it.
In most cases I remember where individuals have been accused of abuse, in this country and elsewhere, a number of additional accusers seem to have come forward.
Relinquished his R&A honorary title now. Not a surprise - rumoured in the clubhouse that he looked forward to anything around the 16th or 17th, but he was often bored by 18th.

There has been nobody else from Epstein's stable of victims who has mentioned Andrew publicly. If there was anybody else then, surely, they would join the civil case? No doubt there's a lot we don't now about this but she is going to need a deal of evidence to make this stick, primarily witnesses who were watching or listening. If she provides evidence of them, at least, meeting on one or more occasions that undermines his defence but doesn't prove abuse, not even on the balance of probabilities. Of course, Maxwell could win the case for her in 5 minutes!

I guess he'll have to find another bunker to hide in.

Virginia Roberts now 'claims she's LOST notorious photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around her waist' which he says was faked: Royal will now use its disappearance as part of his defense in NYC civil rape suit
Virginia Roberts-Giuffre claims to have misplaced the notorious photo of her and Prince Andrew that she says was taken the night she was first sexually assaulted
The photo shows a smiling Prince Andrew with his arm around Giuffre's waist, and Ghislaine Maxwell standing behind the pair in her London apartment
'The picture is not in Virginia’s possession,' a source close to Giuffre said
The source also argued Giuffre's case against Andrew does not rest on the image
Andrew's legal team has made a bid to get hold of the photo and are said to have lined up a photograph expert to analyze it
The Duke of York's attorneys argue that without the hard copy original, there is no way to prove the image wasn't manipulated
Giuffre has previously said the original may be in storage boxes at her in-laws' home in Sydney, Australia

Prince Andrew has settled a civil sexual assault case brought against him in the US by Virginia Giuffre, court documents show.
Ms Giuffre had been suing the Duke of York, claiming he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17, allegations he has repeatedly denied.

WTF. Indeed, Does this mean in effect WE pay up ?
Financial terms not disclosed. What a surprise.
What that actually means is that he'd have lost, so the settlement will be eye-watering. Which in turn means that you and I the UK taxpayer will be picking up the tab. Not directly of course, but there will be a massive increase in the sovereign grant over the next few years meaning that whichever senior royal pays the nonce's legal bill, gets it clawed back over time.

Of course it does. The royal family are completely unaccountable, as we are seeing right now.

I'm sure he had it agreed with his legal team that the job's a good'un. No Sweat.
