Prince Andrew is giving up his royal titles, including Duke of York, following a discussion with King Charles.

The news was announced in a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday night.

“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life,” he said.

“With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

The decision comes after years of criticism over his behaviour and connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

@musicgodess80s

The headline makes it seem like it was his choice. We all know it wasn't

No, everyone involved with the Epstein list of gross friends needs to be in prison. Bill, Andrew, Donald, Kevin, etc. All of them!

Cool but, instead of being paid a small fortune to do nothing, he should be in prison.

The titles are his, he just decided not to use them… all on his own with no provocation… only Parliament can take titles away. Still no accountability for the victims.

If he wants to clear his name or his conscience while he still walks the earth, he needs to take the witness stand and tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but.
