Queen's Concern for Sex Abuse Victims Helped Seal Andrew's Fate

King Charles removed all royal titles from Prince Andrew following sexual assault allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein, reflecting ongoing concerns for abuse survivors, Buckingham Palace said.

  • On Thursday, King Charles III stripped Prince Andrew, the former Duke of York, of his Prince and Duke titles and sent a royal warrant to David Lammy, Lord Chancellor, to remove them.
  • Queen Camilla's concerns that Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, convicted sex offender, were harming her work with survivors and Virginia Giuffre's allegations intensified calls for action.
  • Administratively, Andrew's name has been struck from the official roll of the peerage and he has relinquished his 30-room Royal Lodge, Windsor amid a lease termination and relocation process.
  • A YouGov poll found 79% backed the King's decision, while 58% of the 4,739 adults questioned felt the royal family moved too slowly, and Downing Street said there are no plans for legislative changes.
  • Leading charities and campaigners praised the Palace's intervention as recognition of victims, while King Charles III will privately fund Andrew's accommodation and make private financial provisions for Prince Andrew.
