The agreement came shortly after Andrew’s already tattered reputation due to his connection to Maxwell and Epstein was dealt even more blows by being stripped of his military titles and other honorifics related to being a member of Britain’s royal family.

As part of the settlement, Andrew, who is a son of Queen Elizabeth II, agreed to make “a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights.”

A statement by his lawyers and Giuffre’s counsel last month said the prince “regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.”

“He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims,” that statement said.

Epstein killed himself by hanging in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges, authorities have said.
