Fergie ‘planning a TV comeback’ on US Dancing On Ice amid Prince Andrew legal battle

Prince Andrew could start a new life in the US like his nephew Prince Harry, according to a royal expert. The Duke, 62, could “reinvent himself” with a new life abroad, similar to his nephew Prince Harry, after a settlement was reached in his sexual assault case against Virginia Giuffre.

Prince Andrew avoided court by financially settling with Virginia Roberts for an "undisclosed sum" reported to be around £12million earlier this week after a civil case was brought against him alleging he had sexually assaulted her when she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, which he vehemently denies. But with growing pressure for The Queen to strip him of his Duke of York title and exile him from all royal duties, what does the future of his two daughters – Princess Beatrice, 33, and Princess Eugenie, 31 – look like? Royal expert Duncan Larcombe has spoken exclusively to OK!, and admitted that this is an unprecedented issue.
