Prince Andrew settles with abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre | DW News

The UK's Prince Andrew has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, an American woman living in Australia, who claims Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her when she was underage.

In federal court filing, Giuffre's attorney, David Boies, said lawyers for both sides had arrived on a settlement in principle. An attached letter signed by Boies said lawyers on both sides are asking the judge to suspend all deadlines and put the case on hold.

The filing said both legal teams would request the case be dismissed within the next month.

The settlement filled with a New York judge avoids a trial that would have brought further embarrassment to the UK royal family. It also asked Andrew to make a substantial donation to Giuffre's charity
