Prince Andrew said he will stop using his Duke of York title and other honors, citing the distraction of accusations over his Epstein ties. He denies wrongdoing, stepped back from duties in 2019, and lost patronages and military titles in 2022. Fresh scrutiny followed excerpts from a posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she had sex with him at 17; he denies it and settled her lawsuit in 2022. He remains a prince, is expected to remain near Windsor Castle, his daughters remain princesses, and his ex-wife will lose her Duchess of York title.
