“ Prince Andrew, brother of the British King Charles III, was stripped of his title. The prince was a friend of the American financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found guilty of sexual violence against minors. There were also accusations against him. Source: Buckingham Palace statement, BBC News Verbatim: “His Majesty has initiated the formal process of revoking Prince Andrew’s ranks, titles and honors. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor… Their Majesties wish to make it clear that their thoughts and deepest sympathies have been and remain with the victims and survivors of all forms of abuse.” Details: The palace added that the decision was necessary despite Prince Andrew continuing to deny the allegations against him. In addition, he will be forced to leave the Royal Lodge in Windsor. Andrew previously announced that he would give up the title of Duke of York. We will remind: In 2021, the American Virginia Giuffre filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Andrew. She stated that as a teenager she was a victim of Epstein, who “loaned” her to his influential acquaintances, including Andrew. According to her, in 2001, when she was 17 years old, she had sex with the prince three times. Prince Andrew has denied the allegations. Giuffre committed suicide in April 2025. A few days ago, journalists published information that Prince Andrew hosted convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell and American producer Harvey Weinstein (also later convicted of sex crimes) at his Royal Lodge home during Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday party in 2006. The meeting was held at the prince’s private residence, not at Windsor Castle. Epstein committed suicide in prison in 2019. He died in prison pending trial on charges of trafficking minors.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
