Buckingham Palace strips Andrew title amid survivor acknowledgment

Buckingham Palace’s statement stripping Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his title and confirming he will leave Royal Lodge was hailed by Virginia Giuffre’s family as an acknowledgment that abuse occurred. The palace expressed “utmost sympathies” for victims and survivors. Giuffre, who died earlier this year, had alleged she had sex with Mountbatten Windsor as a teenager; he denies wrongdoing and settled a civil case without admission of liability. Women’s groups welcomed the move but warned it is not true accountability. Giuffre’s relatives called it vindication and mourned her absence. The palace declined to comment.
