Queen strips Prince Andrew of HRH title and military roles - BBC News
The Duke of York's military titles and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen, Buckingham Palace has said.
Prince Andrew, 61, will also stop using the style His Royal Highness in an official capacity, a royal source said.
It comes as he faces a US civil action over sexual assault allegations - claims he has consistently denied.
A source close to the duke said he would "continue to defend himself" against the case brought in New York by Virginia Giuffre.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "With the Queen's approval and agreement, the Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to the Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen."

God bless the Queen, I feel sorry that some of her family are still not behaving properly.
It took the Queen this long to strip off her son's titles?! His victims are brave for telling the truth.
Innocent until proven guilty, you cant just put someone in jail before they can be proven of such things. And it is also likely that the Queen had faith in her son, trusted him enough that she was not going to give up on him yet. Thats what most caring parents do.

I’ll be so brave if I have the chance to receive 700k
I am against witch hunts. In honour of the late Queen, I am not going to judge her son before he is proven guilty. Andrew has not been proven guilty. I am a believer of, proven guilty, before being judge/ convicted. .
He's being sued. If he is rendered not liable, then he assumingly gets his titles back.
Sex accusations aside, is this man really qualified to have any titles if he’s screaming at the maid because his dozens of teddy bears aren’t arranged correctly?

CORRECTION: The "palace" did not act quickly, they waited 7 years hoping for a last minute reprieve, as soon as it was signaled that the case was going to court they cut him loose to save their own skins
Andrew was claiming he was innocent the whole time, only recently Maxwell was found guilty so his position looks suspect now... I'm not sure the Queen should be immediately strip anyone of their titles on the first sign of an accusation.
Yep. Now that Maxwell's tarnished silver hammer has fallen on the former HRHs head.

"The royal family have acted very quickly" 😂😂😂😂😂.. How can he say that with a straight face..these allegations are 10 years old and the interview was 2 years ago...they have done this simply because of the court ruling!
They acted as soon as the judge ruled the civil demand will proceed, from where hundreds of juicy details would emerge and spike the monarchy and whatever organizations this Andrew represents.
Thay done this because he guilty. he should not be aloud in the palce again or near children he may be another Jimmy Saville how many children as he raped id like to know how many girls he had murder to shut tham up. He should goto prison for what he done. Thats if he done it. Even if he pays his victoms that his guilt mate
But Andrew denied all of it maybe the royal family just believed him, the queen is his mother after all, any mother wouldn't want to believe things like this so i'm guessing she just trusted in him as he was her favorite child, but when the truth finally came out the queen did the right thing, she trusted in him and he betrayed that trust.
Well look how Diana was "handled", these are not human beings.
@@JeanLucCaptain Diana was guilty too. She was not a saint.

This should have been done ages ago. I hope his heritage does not continue to protect him from his crimes. And he is subject to the same penalties as everyone else.
As long as courts/media don’t pursue either King Bill Clinton or Gates, everyone is happy. Also, the parents of these young girls are expected by civilized society to protect their offspring by like so many in this country, prefer to throw them away in state care-I mean “pre-K,” just because for so many, parenting appears to be much less loved as they “grow into,” reality their kids won’t be cute babies forever.

A life of privilege and elite catering has deluded Andrew into thinking that he had impeccable speaking skills and that he had the capability to finesse his alleged innocence by giving a personal interview. What a mistake that was, if anything he’s implicated himself ten times over.
Hi Henry, I could not agree more. Spot on

@@Skols-se7jn The Queen: "And if Epstein told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?"
The Queen ascended the throne in her 20s. She was under the microscope the rest of her life and never had scandals like her children. And it’s not just her. Countless people, even the vast majority of people, get on with their lives without having affairs, participating in sex trafficking and the like. So why are many of the Queen’s children incapable of this? They’re supposed to be examples of dignity and the best of society. In my mind they’re actually along the worst. And sadly one has to realize it likely in large part comes down to Her Majesty’s parenting-or lack thereof. Just sad. Their thin veneer of perfection is so irrevocably stained by that generation

I've known and worked with many sexual assault survivors in the past, and I can't tell you how GOOD this is to see. The idea of a powerful man stripped of titles and privileges for life is a really heartwarming start to getting a bit of justice. This does WONDERS for the victims out there who feel like the world doesn't care. It renews some of my faith in humanity. This is actually a healing thing to behold.
Oh no he’s been stripped of his titles, so what? man should be in PRISON

Than your a moron, this means nothin to anyone.
@@Meatrubexe Because of a mere accusation of assault? That’s assuming he ever slept with her, and if he did, we have to assume it was not consensual. The trend of women making accusations 15-20 years after the fact when it’s clearly impossible to produce evidence so far in the past is concerning.
Ah yes, the Law today, guilty until proven innocent..

I love how it is "Well now he is a private citizen so everyone will forget that he is part of the royal family".
This kind of crime should be severely punished no matter who the offender is.
Agree *but* he's presumed guilty without a trial and that should not happen to anyone. No matter how it looks (guilty), it is possible he didn't actually sexually assault her. I'll wait for the evidence she must have before I make a judgement. What we definitely know is he made very bad decisions regarding his friendship with them and had to be stupid to not know what was going on. He's never without staff and security people so I'd like to hear what they say about all this. Oh, and his lawyers should never have allowed that interview to happen.

Prince Philip and the Queen took 12 native children from a Canadian residential school on a "Picnic" in the 1960's. According to others who were at the school at the time, these were the brightest children in the school. They were never seen again. The grown children of that school who spoke up about seeing the Queen and Philip and their friends going missing were all murdered or died under mysterious circumstances. A man named Kevin Annette talked with the witnesses before they died, claiming he was seeking justice for the murdered indigenous children, but in reality, he used them and the entire incident at the residential school to seek monetary gain and some kind of notoriety. He invented some "International Tribunal" that he'd claimed was the high court that would hear the testimonials and seek justice for the 12 missing children. Kevin Annette later was being accused of using women he met online supporting his seemingly valiant efforts to seek justice, swindling some out of every penny they had. I saw the eyewitness accounts from the native children (then adult) and have no no doubt they were telling the truth. I think Mr. Annette put them in greater danger by putting these interviews on KZhead. They all died soon afterwards. It's time for REAL justice. Prince William's pedophile activities are just the tip of the iceberg.
bit dramatic, this was 20 years ago it happened. To much time has passed, she should have come forward much sooner.

The woman coming out about this is really brave, going against someone with so much power is scary but I am proud to see how far our justice system has come (there is still things to improve of course).
The “woman coming out about this”, did horrible things. She took money from Epstein to procure girls for him, some of whom were as young as 14. I know she was young and easily manipulated at the time , but so are many thousands of prisoners whose crimes were committed as malleable minors but whose punishment is severe. Why should her crimes be overlooked if some 17 year old felons in the US are sentenced to death ? She took $500k from Epstein in an agreement that she wouldn’t come after him or any of his friends , yet she continues to target and blackmail people. Before saying that those she attacks deserve it, take a look at her , and ask yourself what you think she deserves.
@@graememorris7820 ,If truly she agreed willingly to keep shut and be paid off,then after over 20 years and having spent all the money,then came out to accuse the Prince with other individuals involved of sexual abuse is a breach of contract/ agreement and also blackmail which proves clearly she's a questionable character. Without holding brief for the Prince and in defense of victims of sexual abuses, it's also worthy to note that her action is that of an individual who is criminal minded, dubious and infact a blackmailer. By the way, One could not fault the argument that why did she collected the money with such agreement to keep shut makes the act appear more concentual than against her will. Had she rejected to be brought over with money then she would've been taken more seriously.. But haven collected the money with an agreement to keep shut ,then later come out to expose the Prince after over 20 years is nothing but wickedness and criminal. Based on this fact, I think the action against the Prince is too harsh and unfair. Most importantly,let this serve as a lesson for those powerful men who takes pleasure to sexually abuse underage girls. Such action is despicable, disgusting, immoral, criminal, Unjustifiable and condemnable. Anybody caught in such act deserves to face the full weight of the law as a deterrent to other shameless men with the intention of committing such henious crime against humanity. As for the Prince let the law take it's cause. I rest my case.

@@graememorris7820 well the courts HAVE decided some guilt. Both Epstein and his second in command are now legally in a court of law guilty of sex trafficking minors.
We should worry about the media next. Sexualization and objectification have been regulated to mere irony making fun of rabid "Feminazis" while doing untold mental damage. It's sickening how women are treated and portrayed as free or liberated by having their humanity stripped away and their body become their entire person. Just my two cents. It really worries me how quickly we've forgotten about objectification in feminist dialogue, or reduced the term to mean specific obvious forms. It's even more worrying how some will call themselves feminist yet believe objectification is powerful or should be expected of all women.

He’s been stripped of those titles because the crown is aware that the assets they hold are at stake they’re not stupid and they’ve certainly not done that because of his actions they’ve done it to stop anyone getting hold of their money
…. And they’ve done it before. They changed their name from their German name to ‘Windsor’, during world war 1…. when there was anti German sentiment here in Britain.

how could you betray your own son he says he never did it and theres no proof he did it
Andrew has an obsession with Teddy bears, what a fu**ing WEIRDO
I wonder how many times he was guilty of this sort of thing but it’s been covered up. His behaviour didn’t just suddenly begin with this incident.
It’s just Allegations, Where’s the Damn proof? Also, pretty damn interesting she didn’t fight 2 decades ago but now, Considering he’s becoming senile and false claims are easy to make these Days.

The Queen: Well Andrew, dear boy, how did the interview go? Andrew: No sweat!
lol
If Andrew is no longer performing official Royal duties and is not permitted to use HRH in public (both conditions that apply to Harry and Meghan), will he also lose the security protection provided to him by the government/British citizens?
Harry lost it too. So they should be consistent and he should lose his publicly funded security protection.
Why, do you want to give him a beating? I see a queue forming.
Yeah, it looks to be getting long too.
No he was photographed today in a car coming out of his home with his detail
God, do any of you moron's read or listen to the news reports. He HAS NOT lost his HRH title, he is just choosing not to use it in this instance so that he can fight this as a "public citizen".
It's ridiculous that some random woman can come forward after allegedly being sexually assaulted 20 years ago, which Prince Andrew denies. But still found guilty by the court of public perception. How can something like this be proven after so long?
Everyone is after Andrew, regardless of his entire family that is being ripped apart in the process. His daughters, his mother... his entire family in fact. If he wasn't a prince nobody would care about who he had sex with (over the age of 16 of course ) 20 years ago. Sounds like a witch hunt.
I agree...as usual it will backfire
Well, see, she's not really some random woman coming out of nowhere. To the rest of the world, she may be, but investigation into epstein began around 2005, and she was contacted around 2007 regarding it, and has been public about her story and experience since 2010. And as for how it can be proven after so long, well, the investigation goes as far back as 2005. That's over 15 years ago and just 3 years after she ended her association with Epstein, so evidence prolly goes way back too.
what a heartbreaking news for him..
give him a 1 bedroom council house now
In an era of social media, the internet and the "Me too" movement, there was no way this could be swept under the carpet. The world is watching, the world is no longer quiet about sensitive matters. When a minor accuses a civilian of sexual assaults, he faces his day in court, the same should apply to aristocrats and wealthy people.
But is it justified?.. wasn't there A GIRL in the picture? Andrew didn't drag her of her parents home.- that minor, she did herself
@@ladydawn1973Eternity Not usually when it is a minor they can’t have responsibility until they are of age to go forward. I know this because I was almost raped when I was 17 myself
@@OutofBoxmusic big yikes
@@kolotoure3995 yeah no kidding it’s no wonder they are so scared to come forward until they are of age I understand
Honestly, I find this is a bit hit. It showed that women have zero rights and are still at the mercy of public opinion.
Oh,,, so sad... Imagine if it was common man they'd be rotting in some jail
Now I feel good never having ever referred to anyone as HRH nor have I ever felt like anyone was royalty. Such a tremendous burden lifted.
Despite everything you can’t deny this must be devastating for any mother
Absolutely.
She is just as bad as him. His upbringing and special treatment has led to all of this. Raping and torturing young girls across the World while the tax payer footing the travel bill
That interview didn’t do him any favours! The mother has been waiting and waiting to see if the situation changes and it’s only got worse and worse. He has himself to blame.
@@linat5671 correct me if I'm wrong. These are all accusations and he's not actually been proven to doing these crimes??
Andrew can be the local netball captain for under 14s.....
I'm in my mid 70's and I remember when Prince Andrew used to be called "Randy Andy". His nickname says a lot
Yes, same here. Personally, I blame the parents.
Oh yes I remember also - especially when he dated Koo Stark !!!!!!!
"For Andrew this must be devastating....?" What about the person who was abused? No talk of them.
what of the other 200 men she's slept with? Will Andrew pay for them all
"He will continue to defend himself from these claims.." Apparently not 🤦♂
The royal”FIRM” is really beginning to distance themselves from him.Good for the Queen to take a stance.
Only through fear that his crimes would metastacize to engulf the whole firm in his scandal. The fact that it took this long for her to act shows she was playing the game of hoping that COVID would be an adequate distraction and that the media attention would die down.
Only took them 40 years or so...
It is very very bad when your Mother turns her back on you the only person who really loves you as usual duty before children and family Harry l now get it
Only because of social pressure not because she thinks he did anything wrong. Imagine your 50 year old son is raping children would it take you 2 years to denouce them. Lol
🐑
I hope he loses in his court battles and names others involved. This is a humanitarian scandal.
I can tell you some, I did follow news, but I am just forklift driver at local warehouse.....
You've already decided he's guilty even before a trial, just on speculation, assumptions and accusations. So much for innocent until proven guilty. I'd be surprised if he didn't do something wrong but I'll reserve judgement until substantiated evidence is presented. That's the humanitarian thing to do.
@@zajournals virtually every time I would agree with you in that point, but this case has shown too much evidence worldwide against him including the Queen herself. And let’s remember she is also the queen of the media as well and she has disowned him.
@@markh3279 I haven't heard of any actual evidence that he had sex with her. Clearly he made bad decisions. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts.
@@zajournals why do think pedophiles get away with 90% of the sick crimes? The amount of attention combined with so many women coming out against him shows me his guilt. Many other crimes I would say wait for court, but not for chomos
Now for the rest of the royal family
Imagine having a predator for a son, what a horrible thing to acknowledge.
Says quite a lot about the firm if they're ready to throw him overboard before the case has even been heard. Doesn't look to good for him I suspect.
please turn your life to Christ whilst you still can the rapture is about to happen anytime soon please repent of your sins And invite the holy spirit to make his home inside you it's not about religion its about a relationship
"firm" knows that it's "loose loose" situation for Andrew. Even if Andrew win this case fare and square there will be always a strong section of ppl who would suspect that his background help him to get a free pass. So better cut him loose from the circle of active Royal as early as possible.
The firm has done so much worse to save itself in the past. This is peanuts for them.
They actually should have done this ages ago.
blm is anti-asian
The monarch didn’t REACT fast enough…..yes, it’s only about collateral damage…..
0:48 he's clearly being driven around by Walter White, so I guess he's being represented by Saul Goodman.
Reputation fallout to be sure...but lets not forget that separating him out as a private citizen protects the royal assets.
And people had the nerve to have more anger towards Harry and Megan 😂

Shuffles.
Does the title of “Honorary” Colonel really carry any weight in the British military? I’m just curious. I have 2 brothers in the Navy, I know how hard they worked just to move up the ranks. I’m just curious how an honorary high ranking position is perceived by those who served or are active duty. I can’t help but think I’d have mixed feelings considering the tremendous hard work others have done just to earn that title.
You could ask ur brothers
It Carrie’s no weight at all, Honorary don’t mean anything when it comes to “Real Military service”. It’s kind of like Knights, People like Elton John and many others would have never held such a title a few hundred years ago when “Being Knighted” had real meaning.
@@issei4561 I would but we’re not British. The biggest gripe I heard was mainly if your CO was a real prick he/she can make it very difficult to move up in rank.
Honorary Colonel just means you can stand where a full Colonel stands in a parade. Its essentially so the royals have a military reason to not stand in the middle of the groups of soldiers. However, some royals do indeed take up their duties. Obviously not as a literal colonel, but for example flying helicopters in the falklands war as part of the RAF

Don't be a predator! But then again she comes from a long line of predators.

He thought he could hide behind the drapes of Buckingham Palace! Well, he can not, now he has to endure the consequences.
I think it shows there is indisputable proof (behind the scenes for now) that he acted illegaly, otherwise they would stand behind him.
It shows no proof! The courts cannot say "Your mom took your titles, you're guilty!" What a stupid idea!
Civil court doesn't determine guilt or innocence. Only liability.
He didn't act illegally. He slept with a consenting 17 year-old in New York where the age of consent is 17 and also in London where the UK age of consent is 16. Yes, be morally outraged but he did not break the law. Bear in mind Guiffre was paid $500,000 in compensation by Epstein and she is now after more but has not named any other of her clients. She actually trafficked girls which has been confirmed in Maxwell's trial.
Epstein and Maxwell are convicted paedophiles, how much more proof would you like? How about some incriminating photos and a car crash interview with Emily Maitlis.
@@TruthTortoise81 Why are you making things up and publishing FAKE NEWS? Do you even know what a paedophile is? Epstein and Maxwell weren't interested in PREPUBESCENT CHILDREN.
