LONDON: Disgraced British royal Prince Andrew was urged to disappear forever from public life after settling a sexual assault lawsuit at vast cost, as Queen Elizabeth II suffered further indignity in her Platinum Jubilee year.
The 95-year-old monarch, who is reportedly helping to foot the bill for the cash-strapped Andrew's settlement, also saw her elder son and heir Prince Charles embroiled in fresh controversy over a "cash for honours" scandal.
