How will Prince Andrew pay all that?
Even before he agreed to settle, Andrew sold a Swiss chalet he had bought for about $29 million, according to the Washington Post — but the sale went through only after he paid off the final $8 million installment of the sum late last year, concluding a separate legal dispute. To many, the sale suggested the duke needed extra cash to cover his legal bills, his love of luxury having long ago outpaced his income.
How big is the settlement?
Even without certainty on the particulars, we can safely assume Andrew and Giuffre arrived at a massive sum. This year marks an unprecedented 70 years of queening for Andrew’s mom, and none of the family wanted a media-circus trial to overshadow her Platinum Jubilee — excuse me, her Platinum Jubbly. So behind the scenes, the royals have reportedly pleaded with the duke to settle the case rather than stand trial.
What even is the duke’s income?
According to the New York Times, the queen gives Andrew £250,000 (about $338,000) annually, which he has supplemented with an extra £20,000 ($27,066) from his Royal Navy pension. (He served as a pilot in the Falklands War.) He lives primarily at the Royal Lodge Windsor, where maintenance should be covered by the Crown. But the Epstein mess has affected his rank: In 2019, after a memorably horrible BBC interview, Andrew resigned his royal duties, and his mother stripped him of his HRH title last month. Given all that, it’s unclear who is footing the bill for Andrew’s residential upkeep, security, and staff. But an annual income of about $365,000 falls out of step with his preferences, according to the Post, for a $100,000 Range Rover, a multimillion-dollar vacation home, and expensive watches.
