Queen Elizabeth's second son reportedly settled his debts on a Verbier chalet. He could use the money in problems arising from his friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew has settled £6.6 million ($9 million) he owed a French socialite from whom he bought a ski chalet in Verbier, the «Daily Mail» reported, quoting the socialite, Isabelle de Rouvre. She had sued Prince Andrew for failing to pay the remaining instalments on the sale.
«The war is finished. It is the end of the matter. I have nothing to do with it now. That’s all,» she told the U.K. tabloid. A spokesman for the British royal confirmed the end of the dispute over the chalet, dubbed Helora, to «The Guardian».
Murky Finances
He is reportedly now selling the property to help fight a U.S. sexual assault lawsuit. A victim of Jeffrey Epstein has hit Prince Andrew with a civil suit alleging that she was forced to have sex with the British royal. He denies the allegations.
His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson spent this New Year's at the Verbier property, according to «The Telegraph» (behind paywall). Prince Andrew's finances are murky and it isn't clear who is paying his legal bills.
He received £1.5 million from a Luxembourg wealth manager that is controlled by British banker David Rowland, «Bloomberg» (behind paywall) reported in November.
