Following mounting pressure and scrutiny over his past association with Jeffrey Epstein in recent weeks, Prince Andrew confirmed on 17th October that he will no longer be using his Duke of York title and various other honours. He is also giving up his membership to the Order of the Garter after it was concluded that "the continued accusations" against him were distracting from the King and Royal Family's work.
Prince Andrew said he continued to "vigorously deny" these allegations and the recent decision to relinquish the use of his title came after a "discussion" with King Charles and his "immediate and wider family". This reportedly included Prince William and it's now been suggested that he is far from "satisfied" with his uncle's statement.
