In a New York civil lawsuit, Virginia Giuffre alleged that Epstein trafficked her in the early 2000s to London, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Andrew denied the allegation and settled out of court, paying a substantial sum but admitting no liability. Giuffre died by suicide in April.

Prince Andrew may resume international travel after six years of remaining largely confined to Royal Lodge in Windsor, following reports that the FBI is closing its investigation into his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.
