Prince Andrew, who was previously stripped of his military roles, has now relinquished his royal titles following renewed allegations tied to his association with the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
While much focus has been placed on his loss of the Duke of York title, there are several lesser-known royal titles he has also forfeited—some of which may come as a surprise.
Andrew’s Formal Statement on Stepping Back
In a statement published on the Royal Family’s official website, Andrew declared, “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.
“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.”
