Prince Andrew pays settlement ending sex assault case

A US judge has signed off court papers concluding the court case brought by Virginia Giuffre.

I wonder how much of the funds will really have come from non-public money.

I would imagine it will all come out of the private wealth of the Queen. it's worth reflecting upon how personal wealth she has and time to start thinking about starting to expropriate it for the common good.

Maybe works of art can be sold to fund the settlement.​
 
To be fair it sounds like if they didn't pay out it means the victim not seeing the money, or having to go through another battle to get it. I think if I was loaded due to inherited wealth and one of my relatives had done something henious and was spiraling towards bankruptcy I'd want to make sure the victim got the money without hassle so they could just move on. But then I'm not one of these fucking lizards so who knows

Similar sort of issue to NHS medical negligence claims or when someone sues the police innit. It's our money that's being paid out to victims but what's the alternative solution once it's gotten to that point? Despite what people in positions of power claim, in the majority of cases it's actually really fucking easy to stop people hurting other people to the extent that they end up in litigation over it, if there is the desire to do so. But that desire is typically not there because that would disrupt the status quo which supports that position of power in the first place

not entirely the truth. the fall from grace of people like gary glitter, rolf harris, max clifford etc shows that celebrity and fame not necessarily an obstacle to justice. and the royal family have - unprecedentedly - stripped andrew of his public life and he lives now on their sufferance (in terms of income rather than actual life itself)

So, you've got 4 kids: Batshit Charlie, Anne, the other one and a nonce who has cost you millions. Hmmm, which one should you choose to accompany you at the service? Which one will it be? :hmm:

You're all looking at this the wrong way. The queen bringing Andrew wasn't her showing any affection for him, or bigging him up, or showing they're trying to rehabilitate him. It was so she knew where he was. For that period of time, at least, he might have been a nonce but he wasn't noncing.

I was idly wondering whether the nonce still got his free landrover and a quick search diverted me to this story about him ramming the park gates to avoid a 1 mile detour:

www.mirror.co.uk

Prince Andrew reported to police for 'ramming park gates with Range Rover'

The Queen's second oldest son reportedly rammed closed gates with his £80,000 Range Rover so he could take a shortcut
www.mirror.co.uk www.mirror.co.uk

Thames Valley police came up with an excuse for not investigating that rivals the Met's 'we don't investigate past crimes':

A spokesman said: "An alleged criminal damage was reported this morning but the caller had no details of the alleged incident other than it was in Windsor on Sunday.

"The caller was advised that a person involved in the alleged incident or someone acting on their behalf would need to report this."

Bit of a weird story that, we aren't told who claims to have seen the incident happen. But it's reported to the police by the head of an anti-monarchist group who wasn't there.

I take it that the police initially refused to investigate because of the lack of a complaint, implying the event was already known about, at least by journalists. Republic stepped in at that point, leading to Thames Valley plod coming out with a different excuse.

Interestingly, the Mail of all papers is running an exclusive today claiming Andrew bullied his way to walking Brenda up the aisle, to the consternation of everyone concerned.

Screenshot below so no one has to click on any Mail links...

Someone at Buck House was more than happy to leak the story, it seems.

Not sure how he managed that. I'd have assumed they stage manage and practice every move in those ceremonies.
