The Paragraph Andrew 'Refused' to Approve in King's Statement
The King acted after Prince Andrew refused to approve victim statements, reflecting public anger and the need to support abuse survivors, with Andrew facing US Congressional pressure.
- On Thursday, King Charles stripped Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his prince and Duke of York titles, calling it `no longer a statement by committee, it's a statement from the King` and expressing `thoughts and utmost sympathies` with abuse survivors.
- A friend of the King told The Sunday Times that references to victims had been removed from all statements since Andrew's 2019 Newsnight interview, and his October 17 statement omitted mentions of abuse survivors.
- Pressure is building for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to give evidence before a US Congressional committee, with members of the US House Oversight Committee calling for him to reveal what he knew and Lawyer Spencer Kuvin urging his testimony to aid justice.
- Andrew will leave his long-time Royal Lodge home after 22 years and move to Sandringham estate in the new year, receiving a one-off relocation payment and regular stipend but losing most of his half a million pound compensation.
- A friend said the royal family had felt public anger and acted because `voices of the victims needed to be heard`, while King Charles will use private funds, not Duchy of Lancaster income, and receives more than �27 million annually from the duchy.
