On October 17, it was announced that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, would give up their official royal titles, including the Duke and Duchess of York. The decision followed years of public pushback regarding Andrew's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, royal experts are weighing in on the influence Prince William likely had on his disgraced uncle's "demotion."
