Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has had his military titles and royal patronages revoked just one day after his attempt to have a lawsuit dismissed from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was denied.
(snip)
"With The Queen's approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen," the palace said in a statement. "The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen."
On Wednesday, a federal judge in New York rejected Prince Andrew's claim that a 2009 settlement agreement between Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein exempted him from civil litigation.
Handy Andy really stepped on a rake this time, didn't he? It sounds like his victim isn't interested in settling out of court at any price - I have heard figures as high as 13 million dollars being bandied about. She wants her day in court.

God save the Queen. When she exits, jolly old England will assume a condition similar to the US under the current political leadership.
This grand lady sure has a basket full of dysfunctional family members.

OK, it is not like she didn't know about this a long time ago...I have known about it since at least the early 2000's. I do not for a minute believe that the Royal Family, and the Queen, did not know the full story long before I did.

Harry and the retired escort definitely need to be offloaded as well, if the royals have any sense and would like to continue as an institution (provided the coming Muslim majority permits it, of course).

Do his girls lose their titles too since their titles were attached to their father? What about ex-wife Fergie? Was Andy doing extra curricular activities while married to her? His family now has to live with his perversion and shame which will be like a scarlet letter on them.

I hope Andrew's daughters don't lose anything. They are both married, both have children and they actually work for a living. As for Randy Andy, I have no sympathy. I hope he gets what's coming to him. Poor Queen Elizabeth, she doesn't deserve this at age 95.

It has been known since way before the early 2000’s, #4. Back around 1980, Andy’s ship put in for a few days at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, where I lived at the time. There was a notorious strip bar downtown near the waterfront called Trader Johns which was frequented by sailors. A day or so into his visit, the Pensacola News Journal featured a front page photo of Randy Andy ogling the strippers in that bar.

There is nothing new with royal family misbehavior, especially in England, especially among non-Catholic royalty there. (Henry VII established such misbehavior.)
You people should watch Lucy Worsley on PBS. She has a wonderful time, as an historian, slyly pointing out such misbehavior.

Yes #5, so many are deceived about the monarchy. Bottom line, the BRF have lost much lustre and relevance since Diana’s death. They were struggling with a populace rather bored with them before Diana and she brought a star quality they desperately needed. They are in the same position now but in a country growing less British and less white every year. There is real fear when Queen Elizabeth goes and it is not just about Charles.
