"We write jointly with counsel for defendant to advise the Court that the parties reached a settlement in principle of the above-referenced action," read a letter to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of U.S. District Court in Manhattan from Giuffre's lawyer on Tuesday.

The amount of the settlement between Prince Andrew, 61, and Giuffre, now 38, is confidential.

A stipulation filed with the court also reads, "Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks."

Prince Andrew also “intends to make a substantial donation” to a charity “in support of victims’ rights,” the document filed with the court states.
