Back in 2019, the 62-year-old Duke of York stepped back from his royal duties following revelations over his relationship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

AceShowbiz - Prince Andrew has reportedly told friends his reputation may be on the verge of being restored by a "mystery development." The 62-year-old Duke of York, stripped of his public duties following revelations over his relationship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is said to be convinced there is a development on the way as early as February that will change "people's perceptions" of the shamed royal.

He is said to "talk most freely" about his hopes when out shooting, according to the Daily Mail. The newspaper reported on Wednesday, January 25, a source had told them, "He says that details are about to be made public which will change people's perceptions of him. He says that it will happen next month."

The Mail on Sunday also reported at the weekend Andrew is going to launch a bid to overturn the multi-million-pound settlement he reached with one of Epstein's sex trafficking victims, who accused him of sexual assault. It's understood it may be a bid to get Virginia Giuffre, 39, formally known as Virginia Roberts, to retract her allegations he had sex with her when she was a teenager and possibly secure an apology.

Virginia maintains Epstein - with whom Andrew was infamously photographed walking in Central Park, New York, just after the financier's release from jail in 2009 after serving a short sentence for sex offenses, paid her $15,000 after she had sex with Andrew in London when she was 17. She also says he had sex with her two other times, accusations the royal has strongly denied.

There was never a formal admission of liability from Andrew or an apology after he settled with Virginia out of court over the claims in February 2022. The Daily Mail has also reported that since the death of Andrew's late mother Queen Elizabeth, he has been "pushing" King Charles for the return of privileges of which he was stripped, including the ability to use the HRH title.
