Why Prince William’s Quiet Influence May Have Sealed Andrew’s Fate
Prince Andrew steps down from his royal duties and relinquishes titles due to controversies linked to Jeffrey Epstein, ending his public royal role, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
- On Friday, Prince Andrew, Duke of York announced he will no longer use his title or royal honours after private talks with King Charles III, saying `continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family`.
- Prince Andrew's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations in Virginia Giuffre's forthcoming memoir increased scrutiny after his 2019 BBC interview and U.S. civil suit settlement.
