Prince Andrew gives up royal titles after being accused of sleeping with underage girls

In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, Prince Andrew said he has decided to ‘stand back from public life’

Prince Andrew has sensationally given up using all his titles and honours after he was engulfed in a sex abuse case involving notorious paedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The dramatic development in the long-running debacle comes just days before the publication of a memoir by Andrew’s late alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, to whom he paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case.
