Prince Andrew Loses Titles Amid New Calls for Epstein-Linked Investigation

King Charles formally stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of his royal titles and ordered him to vacate his residence due to mounting pressure from his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual misconduct by Virginia Giuffre, who died earlier this year. Despite Andrew's denial of all accusations, Giuffre's family, including her brother Sky Roberts, have called for a full investigation and have urged King Charles to pressure U.S. President Donald Trump to release confidential Epstein files. Anti-monarchy group Republic is preparing to file a private prosecution against Andrew, criticizing the official response as inadequate and emphasizing the need for equality before the law. While Andrew's ex-wife lost her duchess title, their daughters retain their princess titles, which is considered a small concession amid the scandal. The developments have sparked international reactions and ongoing debates about justice and accountability within the British royal family and the legal system. Advocates stress that justice must be both served and seen to maintain democratic principles.
