The Duke of York faced accusations of s-xual assault by Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that Andrew raped her when she was 17. These allegations were part of the larger case against Andrew's associate, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently incarcerated.
While Giuffre received a settlement of $16 million USD, it was anticipated that Sjoberg might also secure a substantial settlement from the disgraced royal. However, Sjoberg failed to file the motion within the stipulated time in the United States.
Sources close to Prince Andrew revealed to MailOnline that the Duke is "mightily relieved" with the outcome and is now keen on focusing on "rebuilding his image."
Despite this relief, Prince Andrew is not entirely off the hook, as new 'disturbing' evidence, including Sjoberg's, is set to be presented in court on January 2, as per The Daily Mail. These latest claims are part of 170 legal papers being unsealed on the orders of a judge.
