Prince Andrew has announced he will no longer use his titles, including Duke of York, and is giving up the Order of the Garter, saying continued accusations distract from the work of the King and Royal Family. In a statement, he said he vigorously denies all claims, and that the decision was made after discussions with the King, his wider family, and Prince William. Andrew, already a non-working royal who lost HRH, will remain a prince but further recede from public life. He will stay at Royal Lodge, while scrutiny over his Epstein links and finances continues.
