There have been calls for clarity over Prince Andrew’s role in public life and how he will be funding the financial settlement that was offered to settle the US civil sexual assault case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre.
Prince Andrew agree to pay an undisclosed amount as part of the settlement and accepted Giuffre had suffered as a victim of abuse.
He made no admission of liability and has always denied the allegations.
MGiuffre had been suing Andrew, claiming he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17 – which Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied.
On Tuesday it was announced they had reached an out-of-court settlement.
A statement from their lawyers said the duke would pay an undisclosed sum to Giuffre and make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights.
It also said the duke regretted his association with Epstein.
