PRINCE Andrew has sensationally settled his sex abuse case with accuser Virginia Giuffre.
The Duke of York is understood to have paid Ms Giuffre an as-yet undisclosed sum on money to drop her claims against him.
It means the Queen’s second son will now avoid the case against him being heard in a US courtroom.
Andrew and Virginia had been due to put the shocking claims to a jury trial – and the Duke was just weeks away from being deposed in a two-day grilling in London.
The allegations had seen the Royal Family shaken to its foundations as the Duke was stripped of his titles and banished from public life.
Repeatedly and strongly denying all allegations against him, Andrew had seemed ready to take the case to court in the US.
And the surprise settlement now leaves many questions unanswered over the allegations by Virginia.
