Prince Andrew announced on Friday that he is relinquishing his royal title of Duke of York amid renewed public scrutiny over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The younger brother of King Charles III stated that he and the royal family agreed the ongoing allegations against him have become a distraction from the work of His Majesty and the royal household. A statement released by Buckingham Palace confirmed the decision.
This development comes as excerpts from an upcoming posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre have been published. Giuffre alleges that she was trafficked by Epstein and that she had sexual encounters with Prince Andrew when she was 17 years old.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
