When Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre brought a civil case against the duke in America, Andrew made an out-of-court settlement.
The payout was not disclosed, but it was reported to have been a multimillion-pound figure. The settlement did not include an acceptance of liability and the duke has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Andrew moved into Royal Lodge, the former home of the Queen Mother, after signing a lease with the Crown Estate. The residence is estimated to be worth around £30million, but Royal Lodge has required its fair share of repairs over the years – with Andrew spending £7.5million on refurbishment costs since he moved in.
Royal Lodge boasts 30 rooms and 21 secluded areas, as well as a huge garden, and there is also a huge gothic drawing room located in the heart of the property.
There is a grand saloon with sage green panelling, soaring ceilings, an oil painting depicting the surrounding park, and a huge Persian carpet inside the property.
