Charles linked to funding Andrew's settlement with Virginia Giuffre, report says

A report in The Sun alleges King Charles III, when he was Prince of Wales, helped fund about $2 million of a $16 million loan to Prince Andrew to settle Virginia Giuffre’s civil suit and silence her, with most of the loan reportedly financed by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The payment allegedly allowed Andrew to avoid testimony in court. Charles has since reduced Andrew’s public role, but critics say the move signals Crown interference. The piece notes ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein-related materials and confirms Andrew’s denials of wrongdoing.
