I'm not saying she wasn't abused, but since I tend to question everything I wonder why didn't she go for a criminal case. Why even allow the hint of speculation about financial motivation by seeking money (enough wealth to make you set for life)? Stick with a book deal instead and live off the residuals. But once you say you'll accept money to stop prosecuting, it never looks good.
"The bulk of her wealth came from a landmark settlement with Prince Andrew in 2022, rumored to be around $16 million, though the exact figure was never publicly confirmed."

How is that justice? He admitted no wrong doing, but you got money to be quiet. I get it, we're all human, and some are more easily swayed by money, but not a good look.
I find the idea that years after a photo was taken someone can say "I was forced to have sex with this awful man" and that can lead to a civil conviction, disturbing.
I also do think he is guilty. But it's also possible you didn't have sex with someone you took a photo with. Maybe it was a setup. With the royal's history of engagement in this sort of thing (Jimmy Saville), I don't think so, but we are talking about guilty in a court of law. That needs to have high standards including for cash payouts.
In fact I'd rather no cash payouts for sex crimes unless there is direct medical or other bills to pay for. No get rich quick schemes, because women will abuse that.
