Andrew, 65, denies any wrongdoing, but stepped back from royal duties in 2019, over his Epstein links. He was stripped of royal patronages and military titles in 2022.

This week, British media published excerpts of a posthumous memoir by Epstein's best-known accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who says she had sex with the prince when she was 17. Andrew denies that, and settled a lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022. She died by suicide earlier this year.

In a statement issued by the palace late Friday, Andrew says the "continued accusations… distract from the work of His Majesty" King Charles. So after "discussion" with the king and their "wider family," Andrew says he will "no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me." He added that he "vigorously" denies the accusations against him.

Andrew remains a prince, and is expected to continue living in a royal residence near Windsor Castle. His daughters remain princesses. But his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will also lose her Duchess of York title.

So many people who were involved with Epstein just seem to casually continue on with their lives as though nothing happened, unreal

I have heard rumours that many of them were fixed up with super wealthy men and luxury lifestyles as a result to not talk and that they don't threaten them but look what happened to her. Hard to believe it was suicide.

Anyway good job at least the prick has FINALLY lost his titles.

Warning to those tempted to be sex offenders, if you have a nice job you will lose it. Or you are so so much more likely to lose it than you were prior to 2017.

The story of how much all kinds of people covered up for Larry Nassar is so disgusting.

I'm pretty desensitised and detached by true crime at this point, but this one did actually get anger out of me in places. Quite good if you're washing dishes, cleaning, cooking dinner because you don't really need to watch these videos. You can just listen.

I always enjoy true crime too, have you ever watched MrBallen on Youtube or listened to his podcasts? His stories are amazing and very interesting
