Khaberni - Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday that King Charles, the King of Britain, decided to strip his younger brother Andrew of his titles and medals, and force him to leave his home, due to his ties with the late businessman Jeffrey Epstein.
The statement, conveyed by Reuters news agency, explained that Prince Andrew received an official notice to relinquish the lease of his residence, "Royal Lodge", and will move to an alternative private residence.
About two weeks ago, Prince Andrew said he would relinquish the title of Duke of York, after years of criticism regarding his behavior and connections with the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew’s reputation, the younger brother of King Charles and the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, deteriorated in recent years, for many reasons; notably his association with Epstein.
However, information revealed that one of his closest business associates is suspected by the government of being a Chinese spy.
Andrew said in a statement: "The ongoing accusations against me" have distracted attention from the work of my older brother King Charles and the broader work of the British Royal Family.
The statement continued: "Therefore, I will relinquish any title or medals awarded to me. As I mentioned earlier, I strongly deny the allegations against me."
However, Andrew gained a reputation as a playful prince, and in 2022 he was stripped of most of his titles and removed from royal duties due to his relations with Epstein.
