Charles linked to funding Andrew's settlement with Virginia Giuffre, report says

A report in The Sun alleges King Charles III, when he was Prince of Wales, helped fund about $2 million of a $16 million loan to Prince Andrew to settle Virginia Giuffre’s civil suit and silence her, with most of the loan reportedly financed by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
