He’s already played the royal card, bit rich for him to try and claim anything Magna Carta based, shorely.

i think matters have gone beyond that now, blood has been sensed let alone the cold perspiration of fear from the former naval officer.

- Hi Mum, this woman is saying I fucked her when she was 17 and sex trafficked
- Did you?
- I can't remember I was fucking a lot of chicks then.
- How much do you need to pay her off, we can dip into the Number 10 wallpaper fund
- about $3,000,000
- Three Fergies then
He's going to pay her off, we'll never know the number, he'll end up living in a castle chilling.
When do we get a vote for an elected head of state.

I reckon it would take a fair bit more than $3m to call this off now. And if it gets to a jury trial, won't they decide the level of damages? Could be a staggering amount if so.
But thats awful-our Queen could lose her place on Forbes' list

I can't see him not settling out of court, he probably already has a number.

He can't settle if she doesn't want to, can he?
eta: it's a gamble for her of course in case she loses the case and gets stung for his lawyers' fees as well. so she may be advised to settle if her lawyers anyway whether her lawyers are acting pro bono or no win no fee.

She's suing him, she wants him to pay her, getting paid without a trial is less expensive for her and a sure thing.

It depends. It might not be about the money any more. And even if it is, think of the book deal she'd score if she prevailed...
ETA: for a lot of victims of abuse/exploitation, what matters the most is having your story heard and acknowledged.

Legal bod on earlier today in the state's said she is a multi millionaire and it's not about the Dosh it's about getting justice. Think it was Lisa Brown?

No, it's probably not about the money. The trouble is that the only way to get a semblance of justice in this sort of case is through the civil courts, so it will be a monetary claim in principle. But she's on a campaign now, I reckon.

i'm sure she's on a no win no fee arrangement with her lawyers. it's possible the defence lawyers are on the same (if andrew's paying them per hour atm he really ought to look for better representation)

The trouble with paying her off is that no matter what any agreement says, people are going to point and say "Look he must be a nonce (sweaty or otherwise) because he paid her off to keep it from coming out in court' He is simply too high profile an individual to hope people will just forget about it. He needs to have his day in court and clear his name to have any real chance of his old life back. Trouble is it's glaringly obvious he doesn't want his day in court.
As an extra bonus this has also probably seriously fucked the Sussexes chances of making it in Hollywood. Every chat show that Harry ever goes someone is bound to ask him about his uncle.

he said he could prove his innocence. only now he's trying to get off on technicalities and almost certainly failing dismally. and as an added bonus he's seizing the news agenda from the rest of the windsor cabal. let's hope judgement's handed down on the queen's big day.

Even if it goes to a trial and he wins, many won't belive he didn't do it. So, he might prefer to avoid the risk of a judicial finding of noncery, and the associated costs, by trying to settle sooner rather thna later (assuming his procedural challanges fail).

Come to think of it I don't know if Hewitt has any siblings.

The world demands a trial and I don't think giuffre, her lawyers and the yank courts are going to disappoint. Its going to be epic. I want Andrew to call character witnesses, I want long discussions of his sweat glands, I want surprise guest witnesses for the prosecution who don't even add much, just ex squaddies who testify he was a knob in the Falklands and did fuck all
