"Virginia Giuffre's lawyer said "I believe this event speaks for itself" after the Duke of York and his accuser reached an out-of-court settlement in the civil sex claim filed in the US.
Ms Giuffre, previously Virginia Roberts, made the claim against Andrew for damages in her home country of the US, claiming she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew's friend, to have sex with the royal when she was 17, a minor under US law.
Andrew denies the allegations against him.
In a letter submitted to the United States District Court on Tuesday, Ms Giuffre's lawyer David Boies wrote jointly with Andrew's lawyers to say that the parties had "reached a settlement in principle".
When asked for comment on the settlement, Mr Boies said: "I believe this event speaks for itself."
Court documents show the Duke will make a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights".
Andrew has also pledged to "demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein" by supporting the "fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims".
An attachment to the letter announcing the settlement gave brief details of the agreement between Andrew and Ms Giuffre but indicated the sum would not be disclosed.
It read: "Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out of court settlement. . ."
