As per news report of BBC, a judge in New York signed the court papers on Tuesday, marking the final stage of settling the sex assault case. The amount being paid by Prince Andrew in the deal agreed last month has not been revealed. But the court documents say each side will "bear her/his own costs and fees". There has been speculation about how Prince Andrew might afford the settlement, which could cost millions of dollars. There have been suggestions he could use funds from selling a ski chalet in Switzerland - but the sale has so far not been completed, according to Prince Andrew's representatives on Tuesday.
