King Charles might not have addressed his brother's statement directly since it was released, but he's said to have played a key role in the "discussion" which led to Prince Andrew's decision to give up his Duke of York title. The Prince will also no longer be a member of Britain's oldest and most senior chivalric order, the Order of the Garter.
He continues to "vigorously deny" the accusations made against him linked to his past associations with Jeffrey Epstein, though it was concluded that they were distracting from the Royal Family's work. Prince Andrew's choice means that he is voluntarily not using his York title, though it would take an act of parliament to strip it officially.
