Factfile on developments in the civil case by Virginia Giuffre against Britain's Prince Andrew.

Virginia Giuffre's (pictured October 2019) lawyer said she and Prince Andrew (pictured April 2021) had 'reached an out of court settlement,' without revealing the financial terms

Prince Andrew and his longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre have settled a sexual assault lawsuit for an undisclosed sum, a US court filing showed Tuesday, sparing the disgraced British royal the public humiliation of a trial.

Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II's second son, withdrew from public life as a royal in 2019 after a widely ridiculed BBC interview where he defended his relationship with Epstein and sought to vindicate himself of Giuffre's accusation.
