THE public will NEVER know the truth behind Andrew’s settlement payout – because it’s protected from probing by an archaic law.

MPs are barred from probing whether public money helped Prince Andrew pay off his sex accuser – and are not allowed to discuss the matter in the Commons.

Labour MP Andy McDonald has written to minister Steve Barclay in a bid to confirm no taxpayer cash was used.

He said: “Raising an issue relating to the Royal Family in the House is fraught with difficulties.”

But he asked him to establish “no public funds have been or will be used in part or whole in satisfaction of the settlement”.

The Duke is reportedly “broken” after being ordered to fork over a multi-million pound settlement to Virginia Giuffre.

The source – who served with Prince Andrew during the Falklands War -told the Mirror: “He is down, he is broken. If he wants to dress up once in a while in a naval uniform, then let him. His reputation is in tatters, his public life is over. He is a walking embarrassment.”
