ROYALS:Downfall of a Duke -Prince Andrew Loses Titles & Royal Status
The Downfall of a Duke -Prince Andrew to Stop Using His Titles, Including Duke of York. His Ex Wife Sarah Also Loses Hers
The announcement earlier this evening followed a string of new scandals concerning the DIGRACED Princes relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his association with an alleged Chinese spy.
The Telegraph BBC 17 OCT 2025
This former royal heartthrob fell from grace and created a poisonous crisis for the Royal family
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, Prince Andrew said In discussion with the King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal family.
Prince Andrews downfall has been long and painful. But the final blow was swift.
After years of allegations, veering from sex assault to friendship with a sex trafficking paedophile to meetings with Chinese spies, Andrew has finally moved to do the right thing.
Late on a Friday night, after a few hours of swirling rumours, Buckingham Palace confirmed the story that the former Duke of York would give up his title voluntarily, along with honours including his Order of the Garter.
To the public, it may not mean much. But to Andrew, the son of Queen Elizabeth II and brother of King Charles III, it will mean everything. He has been allowed a modicum of dignity, putting out his own statement framing it as a move to help the rest of the Royal family move on.
I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first, he said, in an echo of his Newsnight claims that he had simply been too honourable
There has, of course, been more to it behind the scenes. The King, who has shown remarkable patience with his brothers capacity for painful headlines over the years, is said to be glad of the outcome.
His strong encouragement of this decision can be inferred, as can the influence of the Prince of Wales, who has always made clear his lack of tolerance for Andrews behaviour.
Now, the Royal family will hope to draw a line under what has become known as the Prince Andrew problem.
If there is further scandal yet to come out and Andrews track record suggests there may well be they can at least now point to decisive action and a Prince who will no longer be known as a Duke
Yet the HYPOCRITE King is allowed to marry his mistress and call her Queen AGAINST the Decree of his mother who said she is only a COUNSEL.....
