 Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after 'discussion with King'



Prince Andrew’s statement relinquishing his titles marks the culmination of a long series of embarrassments for the Royal family

Prince Andrew is giving up his titles, including the Duke of York, following “discussion with the King”.


In a statement, Prince Andrew said that the “continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”


Prince Andrew will remain a prince, but will cease to be the Duke of York - a title received from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth - as well as giving up membership of the Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain.


Prince Andrew has been under growing pressure over his links with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the statement, he said: "I vigorously deny the accusations against me."


Sarah Ferguson, his former wife, will no longer be known as the Duchess of York, but their daughters - Beatrice and Eugenie - will continue to have the title of princess.




The brother of Virginia Giuffre - the woman who alleged that Prince Andrew had sex with her at Ghislaine Maxwell’s house when she was 17 - told BBC Newsnight that it was a “joyous moment” for survivors of Epstein. Ms Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year.
