A recent hearing has alleged that King Charles III of the United Kingdom paid the money that his younger brother Prince Andrew gave as a settlement to avoid going to court for the rape allegation of a 17-year-old girl. As the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking scandal continues to worsen, it is now having an impact on the monarch.
Prince Andrew was officially expelled from the British royal family upon King Charles III’s accession to the kingdom, but a recent court hearing revealed that the monarch had actually paid Andrew the sum of $12 million to avoid having him tried for the sexual assault claims against him.
The youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew, is accused of assaulting Virginia Giuffre, a young woman. Virginia Giuffre’s attorney guaranteed that Prince Andrew had a severe conduct against his victim and that a concrete decision has not yet been made declaring him innocent.
In addition, it was reported that the Prince spoke with his elder sibling about providing him with more financial support in light of the circumstances he has been facing. The monarch, however, has maintained a very fixed viewpoint and has not changed his opinion.
Prince Andrew is rumored to have received no assistance from King Charles III other than the $12 million he provided him to settle their dispute outside of court. The King, however, has since decided that he will no longer protect his brother, and he even took the step to expel him from Buckingham Palace.
