Britain’s King Charles has stripped his younger brother Andrew of his princely title and thrown him out of his Windsor home.
Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday that they want to distance the royal family from him because of his (Andrew’s) ties to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Andrew was long associated with Jeffrey Epstein, an American criminal who was accused of sexually abusing minors.
The victim, Virginia Giuffre, had alleged that Prince Andrew sexually abused her in 2001 when she was 17 years old.

Prince Andrew’s name was also changed
Andrew, 65, is the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth. Earlier this month he was also barred from using the title Duke of York.
Buckingham Palace said that after being stripped of his royal titles, Prince Andrew will now be known as ‘Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’.
Till now Prince Andrew was known as ‘Prince Andrew Duke of Arc’.
The name Mountbatten-Windsor was created in 1960. This name is formed by combining the family names of both Britain’s late Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip.

Virginia, who accused Prince, died 6 months ago
Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual harassment, died in April. According to reports he committed suicide. Virginia (41 years) shocked the whole world in 2011 by exposing America’s high profile prostitution network.
Virginia had revealed the sexual exploitation and trafficking that happened to her. She had said that she was trapped in Epstein’s network when she was just 15 years old. She was forced to have sexual relations with several influential and high-profile individuals. In the same interview, Virginia also mentioned her meetings with Britain’s Prince Andrew.
Virginia lived in Australia for several years and became an advocate for women experiencing sexual assault.
A few days before her death, Virginia met with an accident. She had shared a post on Instagram and said that she would not be able to survive much longer.
Case filed against Prince Andrew in 2021
Andrew has been an officer in the British Navy. He served in the war with Argentina in the eighties. But after his name came with Virginia, he got a lot of notoriety.
In 2019, he gave up all royal duties. After this, Virginia also filed a lawsuit against Britain’s Prince Andrew in the year 2021. Giuffre alleged that when she was 17 years old, Jeffrey Epstein took her to Andrew Prince and sexually abused her.
After this, when the dispute escalated again, Andrew was stripped of his military contacts and royal protection.
