Evicted from the crown estate, Mr Mountbatten Windsor will now live on the king’s private property at Sandringham estate in Norfolk, at the king’s expense. Thursday’s statement asserted that royal sympathies lie with the victims of abuse, while avoiding any mention of perpetrators. In 2022, £12m was paid to Ms Giuffre on behalf of the then Prince Andrew, and the late queen is believed to have stumped up the cash. There was no admission of liability.
