Prince Andrew has relinquished his royal titles, including Duke of York, after a discussion with the King, Buckingham Palace announced. The decision comes amid a growing list of scandals involving the prince.
There seems little doubt that the palace pushed for the decision, which marks a significant step in distancing Andrew from official royal duties. The prince will no longer use the title Duke of York.
The statement was released through Buckingham Palace, confirming the relinquishment of titles. It remains unclear whether Andrew will retain any other royal patronages or military affiliations.
