**Prince Andrew Stripped of Duke of York Title on Website** Buckingham Palace has updated its website to reflect Prince Andrew's decision to relinquish his Duke of York title. The change comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding the prince, particularly related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and Virginia Giuffre’s memoir. On the palace's website, Andrew is now referred to simply as "Prince Andrew," with his Duke of York honour removed. Despite this change, he remains listed on the site, even though he has stepped back from public life. Andrew announced his decision to give up the title and associated honours in a statement, aiming to prevent distractions from the work of the monarch and the royal family. He stated, "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." He confirmed that he would no longer use the titles he had held, which included the Duke of York, the Earl of Inverness, and Baron Killyleagh, as well as his knighthood as a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO). He also mentioned that he would not wear the Garter robes, which he had donned during King Charles's coronation. Although Andrew is relinquishing the use of his dukedom, he technically retains the title, as it can only be removed through an Act of Parliament. The government has indicated it will follow the royal family's guidance on the matter. However, some MPs, including leaders from the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru, are calling for legislation to formally strip him of the title. Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who has remained a supporter, will also lose her title of Duchess of York and revert to her maiden name. The prince stepped back from public duties in 2019 following a controversial interview with the BBC, where he expressed no regret over his friendship with Epstein. Since then, he has ceased using his HRH style and lost his military patronages. In his recent statement, Andrew reiterated his denial of the accusations against him, stating, "I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life." The changes to Andrew's titles and honours mark a significant moment in the ongoing scrutiny of his role within the royal family and the impact of past controversies on the monarchy.
