Prince Andrew feels ‘betrayed’ by former Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and David Cameron for ‘cutting him dead’

  • Prince Andrew has said feels ‘betrayed’ by successive Prime Ministers 
  • Blames them for his agreeing to £12m settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre

Prince Andrew feels ‘betrayed’ by successive Prime Ministers who he blames for ‘cutting him dead’ and encouraging him to agree prematurely to a £12million settlement with his accuser Virginia Giuffre, sources have said.

Andrew, who has told friends that he ‘rues the day’ he made the out-of-court settlement, is understood to have felt partly pressurised into the agreement after a conversation with Boris Johnson in January last year.

The Prince paid the money while emphatically denying Ms Giuffre’s claims that he had sexually assaulted her when she was 17.

Sources say Mr Johnson told him ‘it would be best for all of those involved to settle this thing’ and ‘that would be the end of it’.

The Prince is also understood to harbour a grudge against David Cameron, saying that when he was PM, Mr Cameron was ‘all over him’ for his work in hosting events at Buckingham Palace for entrepreneurs.

The source said: ‘When the Giuffre saga resurfaced in late 2019, Cameron cut him dead and would not make eye contact if they were both at the same events.’

Mr Johnson declined to comment.
