As The Royal Observer previously reported, Queen Elizabeth may be helping Prince Andrew with his recent settlement.

"No one has that kind of money but his mother," expert Adam Helliker claimed. "Andrew is not close enough to the Prince of Wales for him to fund that kind of money. He doesn't have any income."

Now that Andrew is settling out of court, it seems like the royal family is happy with the outcome.

"Going to trial, it could have been very, very nasty," expert Penny Junor stated. "It could have been embarrassing, humiliating, and it would have been huge fodder for the tabloid press. It could have really taken the shine off the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year. At last, he’s expressing some regret and some empathy for those girls."

“He’s got it right now, it took him a long time to get there but I think he’s got it right," Junor said of his recent statement about Roberts, adding that she believes it's "unlikely" he will ever return to his royal duties.
