PRINCE ANDREW TURNS PAUPER!
Teen rape trial bleeding him dry & royals won’t help
PAUPER Prince Andrew can’t rely on moneybags mom Queen Elizabeth to secretly settle his shocking rape lawsuit and cover his mounting expenses — after furious future kings Prince Charles and Prince William shot down a proposal suggesting the monarch use her personal purse to pay off the royal outcast’s accuser, sources snitched.
Andrew’s rocky reputation was already tarnished by his chummy friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, 66, when the creepy financier died mysteriously in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. But the Duke of York, 61, was stripped of his royal duties — and paycheck — later that year amid ongoing outrage over accusations from former Epstein sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims she was trafficked to Andrew three times in
2001 when she was just 17. Andrew has denied the charges — but Giuffre, 38, is suing him in civil court in New York City. However, when Randy Andy was stripped of his taxpayer-funded $310,000-a-year payday, he was left with a measly $25,000 Royal Navy annual pension. Now, a senior palace courtier dished the cashpoor prince needs to raise funds fast as his high-powered attorneys in Britain and America attempt to dig him out of his legal mess!
“The possibility of a last-minute outof-court settlement has been raised, but the suggestion Her
Majesty provide the financing for the ever-mounting legal bills has been nixed,” spilled the source. “Charles and William went berserk! They’re outraged the royal black sheep’s brought such shame and scandal to the family and forced to save his own skin.”
The courtier claimed the ailing 95-year-old monarch has slammed the royal coffers shut and added, “Andrew may be her favorite son but this sex scandal is causing catastrophic damage to the monarchy. Her days of bailing him out are over!” As National ENQUIRER readers know, Andrew’s sketchy pal, Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted in December of grooming underage girls for her well-heeled boss and his pals.
And as Andrew’s troubles have mounted, the royal source snitched, “He became poison to businessmen who’d once begged him to lend his royal name to their projects.” Now, the desperate duke is
said to be urgently finalizing the sale of the last piece of property he owns — a $23 million chalet in Switzerland he bought in 2014.
“But don’t expect a huge windfall — the place is mortgaged to the hilt,” whispered the source. “Frankly, he’s running out of options. The Bank of Mommy is closed.”
