Prince Andrew stepped back as a senior royal in 2019 following his nuclear interview with the BBC where he denied Virginia Giuffre's claims. He settled with Giuffre in 2022 for an undisclosed sum.

Prince Andrew was seen driving from Royal Lodge with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in his first public appearance since Virginia Giuffre, who accused him and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, died by suicide.

Virginia Giuffre had alleged that Jeffrey Epstein sexually trafficked her to Britain's Prince Andrew and others.
