Prince Andrew banished as questions intensify | JQJO

Prince Andrew has been stripped of titles, declared a commoner, and banished to accommodation on the Sandringham estate, royal commentators said after Thursday’s announcement. Observers called the move an absolute humiliation, noting the loss of his cherished Order of the Garter and exclusion from royal events, with only funerals a possibility. Though supported with housing by the king, questions persist over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Campaigners and officials urge US testimony or extradition, while UK police are actively probing claims he sought a smear against Virginia Giuffre. A public comeback appears impossible.
