Why Abolish the Monarchy Trending in UK?

Listening to the Brit media it's very clear that the so called royals are behind this so called 'settlement' for one of their sons. It's also very clear they are up to their necks in paying for this story to go away. This is surely the end game. It's time to #AbolishTheMonarchy

Taxpayers deserve to know where the money is coming from for a settlement. So much public money ends up in royal pockets one way or another, are the British public ultimately paying for Andrew to avoid appearing in court? #AbolishTheMonarchy pic.twitter.com/BVleiqJF4E

All 18 of these royals live in state owned homes, mainly in St James's Palace, Kensington Palace or Windsor. They pay little or no rent at a huge cost to the taxpayer. Most of them do very little in return. They also have second, third and fourth homes.#AbolishTheMonarchy pic.twitter.com/PrJ3oj1q37

People say that the time has come to end the monarchy in the country because the monarchs are using taxpayers' money to suppress their crimes.

What was the Case?

In her lawsuit, Ms. Giuffre said that Prince Andrew sexually abused her when she was under 18. Incident took place at Mr. Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan and on his private island.

Andrew, Mr. Epstein and his longtime companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, had forced Ms. Giuffre to have sexual intercourse with Andrew at Ms. Maxwell’s home in London.

Ms. Giuffre had feared repercussions if she disobeyed the three because of “their powerful connections, wealth and authority,”.

Settlements reached by accusers of Mr. Epstein kept confidential, although the four women who testified at Ms. Maxwell’s trial each said they received payouts, as high as $5 million before legal fees, from a victims’ compensation fund drawn from Mr. Epstein’s estate.
