Prince Andrew feels “betrayed” by former Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and David Cameron for “cutting him dead”.
- Prince Andrew said he felt “betrayed” by successive Prime Ministers.
- Blames her for agreeing to a £12million settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre
Prince Andrew feels “betrayed” by successive Prime Ministers, who he accuses of “cutting him dead” and encouraging him to agree to a £12million deal with his accuser Virginia Giuffre ahead of schedule, sources have said.
Andrew, who has told friends he regrets the day he reached the out-of-court settlement, is said to have felt some pressure after speaking to Boris Johnson in January last year.
The prince paid the money while strongly denying Ms Giuffre’s claims that he sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
Sources say Mr Johnson told him “it would be best for everyone involved to settle this” and “that would be the end”.
The prince is also understood to harbor a grudge against David Cameron, saying that when Mr Cameron was Prime Minister he was “all over him” for his work hosting events at Buckingham Palace for entrepreneurs.

The source said, “When the Giuffre saga resurfaced in late 2019, Cameron cut him dead and wouldn’t make eye contact if they were both at the same events.”
Mr Johnson declined to comment.
