New tile for Prince Andrew, the third son of Queen Elizabeth, involved in the story of the sex scandal connected to the attendance of the deceased American pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. The 61-year-old Duke of York, waiting to know if the American justice intends to accept or not the request of his lawyers to dismiss the civil case brought against him by Veronica Giuffre, one of the alleged victims (at the time a minor) of Epstein and the of his many VIP friends, he may have to sell the prestigious chalet he owns in the Swiss Alps to pay for legal fees.
This, at least, is what the British tabloids write according to which the duke has already set in motion some emissaries for the hypothetical sale of the property (where he was seen spending a holiday in the snow on New Year's Eve) whose value is estimated at approximately 20 million euros.
Anonymous sources say that the step will be necessary - especially if the legal proceedings initiated in New York were to go ahead - since the 95-year-old Elizabeth II this time does not appear willing to cover the court costs of the one who was long considered his favorite son, in spite of repeated alleged scandals and missteps.
In support of the "hard line" there would also be the heir to the throne Carlo, Andrea's elder brother and historical "rival" in the Royal Family, now credited with a coregent role on many dynastic issues and on the control of the resources of Windsor house.
