You know things are getting really serious when they take your Twitter account away (you can just ask another former, disgraced public figure about that one). There’s a new report that says Prince Andrew’s Twitter account has been deleted at the same time that the monarchy has updated its website to reflect the fact that he has become persona non grata within his own family. Here’s what you need to know.
According to new reports, “Andrew’s official @TheDukeofYork handle now comes up with a blank page and the message “This account doesn’t exist”. The bio used to read “The Official Twitter Account for The Duke of York. Tweets sent by HRH are signed – AY.”
Prince Andrew’s Twitter Account Is Deleted While The Monarchy Updates Its Website
If that weren’t enough, the British monarchy’s official website has also been swiftly updated as the institution seeks to distance itself from the Queen’s son, who is facing a civil sexual assault trial in the US. Andrew still appears under the section “Members of the Royal Family”, but the list of his now ex-military posts and patronages has been removed.
Meanwhile, it seems like Prince Andrew is about to go broke because of his problems, too. Apparently, the Duke of York is worried that he might end up penniless after he was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages amid his legal battle against Jeffrey Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre.
“Until very recently it appears the absolute enormity of this case and the consequences he faces has not hit him,” one source told the Daily Mail. “Now the bills are mounting up and the possibility of a settlement, or even worse a judgment against him, is being widely discussed; he fears complete financial ruin. There is a very real prospect of him being completely broke.”
Andrew’s legal and PR fees could easily add up to $3 million. If that weren’t enough, he will have to cough up more than $13.6 million to settle the case that has been brought by Virginia.
However, Prince Andrew’s legal team argued during a video conference that Ms Giuffre waived her right to sue the Duke when she signed a $500,000 settlement agreement with convicted sex offender Epstein in 2009.
During the hearing, the Prince’s lawyer said: “It’s unquestionable that Prince Andrew could have been sued in the 2009 Florida action. He was not. And therefore he was a ‘potential defendant’ and a release under the 2009 settlement agreement by its unambiguous terms.”
