Prince Andrew has settled a civil sexual assault case brought against him in the US by Virginia Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre had been suing the Duke of York, claiming he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17, allegations he has repeatedly denied.

A letter filed to the US district court on Tuesday said the duke and Ms Giuffre had reached an out-of-court settlement.

It said the duke would pay an undisclosed sum to Ms Giuffre.

His representatives said he had no comment beyond what was said in the document filed to the court. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the settlement.

In a letter to US judge Lewis A Kaplan, Ms Giuffre's lawyer David Boies wrote jointly with Prince Andrew's lawyers to say the pair had reached "a settlement in principle".

A statement included with the letter read: "The parties will file a stipulated dismissal upon Ms Giuffre's receipt of the settlement (the sum of which is not being disclosed)."

It said the duke would make a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights".
Prince Andrew, the statement added, had "never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character" and he recognised she had "suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks".

The duke also pledged to "demonstrate his regret for his association" with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by supporting the "fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims".

He also commended the "bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others".

Prince Andrew makes no admission of liability. His lawyers had previously said he was ready to go before a jury to fight Ms Giuffre's claims, with a trial expected later this year.

Responding to the settlement, Mr Boies told the PA News agency: "I believe this event speaks for itself."

Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, renewed her call for Prince Andrew to withdraw his Duke of York title in light of the settlement.

She said his delay in expressing regret over his ties to Epstein and initial response to claims against him had caused "deep hurt and embarrassment" to the city's residents. She urged him to back the withdrawal of his ducal title as a mark of "respect" to York residents and those affected by abuse.

Ms Giuffre, who was previously known as Virginia Roberts, claimed she was the victim of sex trafficking and abuse by financier Epstein from the age of 16. Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting a sex trafficking trial.

She said part of the abuse saw her lent out to powerful men, including Prince Andrew, who is the third child of the Queen and ninth in line to the throne.

Ms Giuffre, now 38, claimed the duke, 61, sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17 at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in London, in Epstein's mansion in New York and on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands.

Tesla customers can now buy their car with Bitcoin, company chief Elon Musk has said.

Mr Musk, a well known Bitcoin enthusiast, made the unexpected announcement in a tweet.

But Bitcoin's value rapidly moves up and down - meaning the cryptocurrency price of the car could change day to day.

Tesla has invested heavily in the digital currency, buying $1.5bn (£1.1bn) worth of Bitcoin.

And that apparent vote in confidence saw Bitcoin's value shoot to a record high.

Wednesday's announcement also led to a modest bump to the price of Bitcoin.

Mr Musk tweeted Tesla would be running its own internal software to handle Bitcoin payments, which "operates Bitcoin nodes directly".

Nodes, in this sense, are the computers that process Bitcoin transactions.

And in an apparent bid to assuage fears of Bitcoin enthusiasts who want to see the ecosystem thrive, Mr Musk said: "Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat [government-controlled] currency"

In the US, orders for new Tesla cars can now be secured with the equivalent of a $100 deposit in Bitcoin.

The facility would be rolled out to other countries in the coming months, Mr Musk said.

Bitcoin's volatile price makes its use to buy real-world goods somewhat complicated.

For example, Tesla's terms and conditions say if a refund is needed, it can pay in either the exact amount of Bitcoin paid or in US dollars based on the dollar price of the car - whichever it wants.

So if the price of Bitcoin shoots up before a refund is issued, the customer could lose out.

The announcement comes the same day US magazine Consumer Reports warned Tesla cars were recording and transmitting video footage, to help develop its self-driving technology, in a way that raised privacy concerns.

Other carmakers did not record or send the video they captured, it said - instead using the technology to warn a driver if they were not paying enough attention.

"If Tesla has the ability to determine if the driver isn't paying attention, it needs to warn the driver in the moment, like other automakers already do," it said.

John Davisson, from the Electronic Privacy Information Center, told Consumer Reports: "In Tesla's approach, there's always the possibility that insurance companies, police, regulators, and other parties in accidents will be able to obtain that data."

Last week, Mr Musk denied reports his cars' sensors and cameras could be used for spying on the Chinese military, saying Tesla would be "shut down" if that were the case.

And on Tuesday, CNBC reported a US federal agency was investigating complaints over Tesla solar panels catching fire.

A whistleblower who worked for Tesla had filed formal complaints with government officials over "unacceptable risks" in the installation of the solar panels, the report said.

Among the known fires are seven on the roofs of Walmart shops in the US, with the supermarket giant alleging negligence in the installation.
