LONDON — Prince Andrew has agreed to relinquish his Duke of York title after talks with his brother King Charles III — a stunning development following accusations tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
“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,” Prince Andrew said in a statement released Friday night by Buckingham Palace.
“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,” he said. “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.”
Public pressure for Andrew to relinquish the title has been mounting for years.
