Government to be ‘guided’ by royal family on any moves to strip Andrew of titles

  • Prince Andrew issued a statement on Friday relinquishing his Duke of York title and honours to avoid distracting the monarch and royal family, while remaining styled a prince at the Royal Lodge mansion.
  • The backdrop includes a multi-million-dollar settlement and a damaging 2019 Newsnight interview that heightened scrutiny; Ms Virginia Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times, which he denies.
  • Police say they are looking into claims after media reports that Andrew asked a taxpayer-funded bodyguard to investigate Ms Giuffre and passed her personal details in 2011.
  • King Charles III has ruled that Andrew will no longer attend the Christmas Day service, and Andrew surrendered his Garter knighthood, losing robes and Order of the Garter attendance at Windsor Castle.
  • Pressure grew for King Charles III to strip Andrew of his princely title as Sky Roberts urged action and reports say Prince of Wales William plans broader bans when he becomes king ahead of memoirs due Tuesday.
