  • Legal proceedings have been launched in Switzerland against Britain's Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, a newspaper reported Thursday, over money they still owe on a luxury chalet. Queen Elizabeth II's second son and Sarah, who remain close despite their 1996 divorce, bought the plush holiday home in the Verbier ski resort in southwest Switzerland in 2014 for 22 million Swiss francs ($22.5 million, 21 million euros). The wooden chalet has seven bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool and a sauna, Le Temps newspaper reported. However, the Duke and Duchess of York did not meet the December 31, 2019 deadline for paying off a chunk of that sum, Le Temps said. In the deeds of sale, seen by the French-language daily, six million francs were due to be paid at the end of last year -- now eight million francs with interest. Four months on, the law firm Etude du Ritz has been instructed by the vendor to launch legal proceedings at the local prosecution office, Le Temps reported. There was no immediate comment from Etude de Ritz, or Buckingham Palace in London, when contacted by AFP. Le Temps quoted a spokeswoman for the Yorks as saying: "There is a dispute between the two parties in this matter," adding that the contractual details were "subject to a confidentiality agreement". The legal proceedings add to 60-year-old Andrew's woes. The prince, who is eighth in line to the British throne, stepped back from all royal duties in November following a public outcry over his friendship with the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein," he said in a statement. Andrew emphatically denies any wrongdoing. The duke was a naval helicopter pilot who saw action in the 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. After his military career, he spent a decade as Britain's international trade envoy, until 2011. Andrew and Sarah married in 1986, split amicably in 1992 and divorced four years later. However, they remained close, often living in the same house as they brought up their daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. In April, Sarah, 60, posted pictures on Instagram of her and Andrew packing cupcakes destined for a local hospice. It was a rare glimpse of the prince since he stepped down from royal duties in November. rjm-bur/nl/pma
