Shopped Andrew To Tell-All Ala Harry?
If convicted trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell can be believed that Giuffre-Andrew photo is a fake, can Duke of York get Giuffre to retract her 2001 multiple rape charges as she recently did in another abuse suit vs Prof Dershowitz?
As the Hill notes, the now infamous photo showing a smiling Prince & then-teenage Giuffre arm-in-arm with Maxwell grinning as well in the background, was only a “piece” of the court filings portraying him as a Maxwell-Jeffrey Epstein customer. And, regardless, Andrew did willingly agree to a settlement with Giuffre for between $3.8 million & $14.8 million. The fact that The Sun cites an unnamed royal source as saying Andrew “was pressured into settling the case” to spar Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee would have no bearing on whether he’d been defrauded by Giuffre.
Still, Andrew always denied Giuffre’s abuse allegations in her 2020 civil lawsuit & no criminal charges were ever filed, presumably in part because the “supporting” evidence was not particularly convincing. “Andrew has always insisted he is innocent & finally wants to prove it in a US court,” The Sun’s source said, while “The King is happy for him to pursue this.” But, does he have additional evidence (beyond Maxwell's latest) he was defrauded? Andrew’s best bet may be Giuffre admitted in court she “may have made a mistake” in accusing Dershowitz of similar abuse. The Mirror reports Andrew’s top lawyer told him to “forget it” & to be “grateful he’s not in jail.” But, jail is never going to happen now & the Queen has passed. So, the Prince, having lost title & rank, has nothing left to lose (except more attorneys fees) in burning every bridge to get where he wants to get (i.e., renewed royal duties), if in court & not in a tell-all book ala Prince Harry.
