Media reported in March that Prince Andrew had paid compensation to Giuffre, and the trial was dropped. It was noted that compensation could reach 12 million pounds. This happened after Andrew and Giuffre reached a pre-trial settlement. In January, amid the allegations and ensuing lawsuit, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Andrew had been stripped of honorary military ranks, royal patronages and would no longer be able to use the title of “His Royal Highness“.
