Accused sex creep, Prince Andrew, who was previously stripped of all his royal duties after a sordid sex scandal, is now losing his armed royal police protection, a new report claimed.
National Enquirer, in its January 9, 2023 issue, reported that the safety of Prince Andrew would soon be in the hands of Taser-toting security guards instead of pistol-packing cops because he is no longer a working member of the royal family. It added that King Charles III is considering personally footing the annual $3.6 million bill for the pauper prince.
Most, if not all, royal followers are aware that Prince Andrew was forced to leave behind public life amid outrage over his connection with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Duke of York sank deeper into scandal when Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre accused the royal of raping her three times when she was 17 and later slapped him with a lawsuit.

Prince Andrew has denied the charges of Virginia Giuffre, who later agreed to an out-of-court settlement last year. However, the former husband of Sarah Ferguson was said t be worth far less than his rumored $12 million payout, leading some to believe the late Queen Elizabeth II settled his debt.
In a letter to U.S. judge Lewis A Kaplan, Atty. David Boies, Virginia’s lawyer, wrote jointly with Prince Andrew's lawyers to say the two parties had reached "a settlement in principle.”

A statement included with the letter read:
"The parties will file a stipulated dismissal upon Ms Giuffre's receipt of the settlement (the sum of which is not being disclosed)."
It said that Prince Andrew would make a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights.” The statement added that the brother of King Charles III had "never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character," and he recognized she had "suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks."

Moreover, Prince Andrew pledged to "demonstrate his regret for his association" with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by supporting the "fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims". He also commended the "bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.”
Prince Andrew has yet to comment on the claims that he would no longer have armed protection. So, avid followers of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s dad should take all these unverified reports with a pinch of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
