Summary

Has Prince Andrew settled this case and avoided any further embarrassment or has he just agreed not to be humiliated at his mother’s big party? Today Marion McKeone casts her expert legal eye over the settlement nobody saw coming. Just weeks ago we heard how intent Virginia Giuffre was on making Andrew sweat in public on the stand. Surely there is more to this settlement than meets the eye. This tamped down statement can’t be worth £12 million. Is it the outcome other victims were hoping for? Dumped on Valentines Day, in public, by your accountant. Now that is rough. Donald didn’t take it well and his rage spewed into a statement that he wanted written in CAPS. But before you flush it down the toilet of the White House residence, surely Mazars are culpable for some of the book-keeping tomfoolery they are attempting to call out? Marion explains it all and takes us to the Ukraine to examine the developments of the past week.
