Newly released court documents from 2009 show the billionaire paedophile paid Virginia Giuffre to end her claims against him and prevent the case going to litigation.
But a clause in that agreement is likely to be used by the Duke of York’s team to argue allegations he had sex with Ms Giuffre when she was 17 should not be heard in court.

He denies the claims.
