The embattled Duke of
York has been accused of sexually abusing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the
alleged victims of late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, when she was
underage.
UK's Prince Andrew has been stripped of military
titles and royal patronages, Buckingham Palace revealed on Thursday.
"With The Queen's
approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal
patronages have been returned to The Queen," Buckingham Palace stated.
The statement also said that
the Duke of York will "continue not to undertake any public duties",
noting that he is "defending this case as a private citizen" - apparently
referring to a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew brought by Virginia Roberts
Giuffre.
Giuffre, who is one of the
alleged victims of late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has accused
Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The Duke of York
has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and has been struggling to dismiss the
case as unconstitutional.
