Prince Andrew was today stripped of his military titles, royal patronages and HRH honorific by the Queen, who said he will have to face his sexual assault lawsuit as a 'private citizen'.

The Duke of York was born an HRH but will no longer be allowed to use it in any capacity, signalling his mother's attempt to distance the Royal Family from the ninth in line to the throne as he faces a humiliating trial in the US.

The decision to shred Andrew's military ties is likely to be particularly painful for the Royal Navy veteran, who served with distinction as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War.

It comes after a day after a US judge unequivocally rejected the prince's bid to have his sex abuse case thrown out, leaving him facing the prospect of being cross-examined for seven hours on camera with embarrassing questions on everything from his sex life and 'private parts'.

Andrew has been urged to settle out of court with his accuser royal's accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre 'for the sake of his mother', who celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this year. But he could face difficulties given Ms Giuffre is said to be pushing for 'her day in court'.

Buckingham Palace announced the Queen's decision to cast Andrew out of the royal fold in a statement released this afternoon.

Indeed...and further to that, he's her favourite ''child'', so for her to do this... I would imagine she has some kind of proof that he's up to his neck in guilt.... the Royal family mantra was always Never Complain Never Explain... this is probably the last thing anyone was ever expecting..

Can you imagine at the ripe old age of almost 96 years old having to deal with a 61 year old son, and strip him of everything .. including his dignity.. how difficult that must have been knowing that her son will go down in history with a Big Black mark over his head forever...
 
Andrew has been a "naughty" little boy. Imagine, chasing underage girls! Can he not find women his age? If he cannot show some self-control, he does not deserve to be called "his highness." Perhaps, "his lowness" if there is such a title? It's good to see that there are some consequences for these types of people. Oh, for the shame! I wonder if he has/had a wife? If he has I bet he really put himself "in the doghouse." No nuky tonight Andy!

Holly, I am wondering....o_O:oops::unsure::unsure:
Is it possible that she can take this action, and yet maintain her own personal attachment with him? Or does this amount to a total, complete disowning, and personal rejection as well, of him by her?

Myself not having any comprehension of that system, Could she have made this specific decision, solely or primarily, in order to spare the country of being attached to him, and the country from bearing any financial responsibilities, as well?:unsure:

Oh no, she won't be personally disowning him, that's for sure... but she has essentially disowned him from the public and he will now no longer be known as HRH.. or be called that by any member of the public... ..This country would not have paid for his court case.. but it could be as you surmise that she's removed him completely from office so he's not paid out of the public purse..I'm absolutely certain she will ensure from her own personl purse he will never have to go around with a begging bowl.., and of course when she dies he will be entitled to a quarter of her Estate, and I'm sure she had that in mind too.. , so he will just become a rich old pervy playboy...when she dies... and not have to work for a penny of it..

Thank you for this explanation, Holly.

And what effects does this , and will this, now have on Sarah Ferguson?:unsure:

Obviously, it's all a miserable mess, for his daughters!:oops:

It'll have little effect on fergie..she's always known about his 'ways''.. shall we say.. but she sticks to him like mud on a claypot because without his money and his home she'd be on the streets..

His daughters are grown and with children of their own.. the fact they're father has been publicly shamed in this way will be a terrible blow to them I'm sure, but I'm certain they think this is all a conspiracy and their father is innocent of all charges...

In effect, the Royal family are distancing themselves from him and all that he might or might not have done. While I think he is arrogant and his continued association with Epstein (after he knew of the allegations) reflect badly on him and add weight to the accusations, he has not been convicted of anything.

Wow!
Now if only she would strip Haz and his wife of their titles, or at least remove them from the Royal Family page.

This is the thing with Harry and Meghan. If they had decided they wanted no part of Royal life and had left to live quietly and be financially independent, they could be admired but, what they did was just set up their own "Royal" household across the pond and proceed to exploit the very thing they claimed they were escaping from!

I agree with you 100% and the thing that really gets on my nerves is that Harry is exploiting his mother's memory.
I get that they have a contract with Netflix and can't bite the hand that feeds them, but seriously is that any excuse to drag his mother's memory through the mud? Not to mention all the lies they have spread and how he keeps throwing his father under the bus any chance he gets.

Neither Fergie nor Andrew has aged particularly well. "Rode hard and put up wet" is what we say in the US.
