LONDON (AP) – King Charles III on Thursday stripped his disgraced brother Prince Andrew of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence after weeks of pressure to act over his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Buckingham Palace said the king “initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.” After the king´s rare move, Andrew will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and not as a prince, and he will move from his Royal Lodge residence into “private accommodation.” It is almost unprecedented for a British prince or princess to be...

— Britain’s King Charles has started a process to strip his brother Andrew of his titles and given him notice to move out of his mansion, Buckingham Palace said Thursday. Andrew, 65, has faced renewed scrutiny over his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following the release of his sexual assault accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl.” Giuffre – who the prince claims never to have met – said in the memoir that Andrew sexually assaulted her while she was a teenager. Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Andrew has repeatedly...

Virginia Giuffre was a "huge Trump fan," according to the woman who helped write her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl. Giuffre's ghostwriter, Amy Wallace, spoke with CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Tracy Smith about the book, as well as Giuffre's feelings toward Trump, a former friend of Epstein. "She was a huge Trump fan, because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein files," Wallace revealed in the interview, which was broadcast on Oct. 19. "She was very excited that he had made that one of the main planks of his campaign, and she felt validated by it." Giuffre did not implicate Trump in...

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge, the publicly-owned home where he effectively lives rent-free. The trio visited the Windsor mansion as part of his daughter Beatrice's masked ball 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, two months after a US arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor. It had previously been reported that Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein visited Windsor Castle for the event, but not that they had been hosted at Andrew's private home. Andrew, who is facing increased scrutiny over his living arrangements in light of his...

As a poll shows that four out of five Britons want Sir Keir Starmer to officially strip Prince Andrew of his dukedom, and the clamour mounts for him to be chucked out of his 30 bedroom mansion Royal Lodge, it will be of some solace to Beatrice and Eugenie that at least their own titles aren’t going anywhere. As the phrase goes: ‘Born a princess, always a princess’. “I know Harry has been texting Uge a lot”, says a friend of Eugenie. “There are lots of jokes about them going to live as exiled royals together in Portugal”. This might...

British Prince Andrew and UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed. Andrew may go into a gilded life in exile. As the former Duke of York is massacred daily by an unstoppable flux of scandals, he is facing the prospect of being evicted from the 30-room Royal Lodge that has been his residence for more than 20 years. Prince Andrew always maintained that he held a ‘cast iron’ lease of the mansion, until it became public that he only paid ‘one peppercorn a year’ in rent. The agreement stated that the Crown would have to pay Andrew around £558,000 ($742,000) if he gave...

Newly released flight manifest records from Jeffrey Epstein's private plane include legendary broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite. The revered journalist - often dubbed 'the most trusted man in America' - appeared in documents made public on Friday by the House Oversight Committee. Also in the logs were Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson. The documents did not suggest wrongdoing for Cronkite or any of the names listed. But it could reveal the scope of Epstein's network as well as who had access to his properties. The flight logs show the 91-year-old Cronkite boarded a flight in the depths of winter...

Prince Andrew is to give up his titles, including the Duke of York, he has announced in a personal statement. He has been under increasing pressure for his links with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with calls for the Palace to take action against him. That now seems to have resulted in the prince deciding to voluntarily hand back his titles and to give up membership of the Order of the Garter.

The FBI has officially closed its long-running investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid network—declaring that no charges will be brought against Prince Andrew, effectively clearing him for international travel after years of alleged self‑imposed exile. Dubbed “Air Miles Andy” for his taxpayer-funded shopping trips abroad during his tenure as UK trade envoy, Andrew dramatically halted international travel six years ago amid fears he could face arrest in the U.S. His only known post‑scandal trip came in 2022, flying to Bahrain in private — all while rumours mounted that he was using his connections to profit via his defunct Pitch@Palace enterprise, according...

The origins of the picture remain uncertain. But Ms Giuffre's death adds...

Finding yourself named in a document dump involving the world's largest underaged sex ring, a dead pedophile billionaire, his convicted female accomplice, a disgraced Prince of England, and the conflicting statements of an alleged victim is without compare. When I learned that I was included in the Epstein documents unsealed on Monday, my first response was disbelief. Then again, of course this was going to happen. It was only a matter of time. Much has been written in recent days about the documents concerning Sarah Ransome - who first approached me in 2016 with bombshell claims that she had videotapes...

At long last, the names contained in court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being released. It’s a slow trickle, to be sure, but four long years after the arraignment and eventual death of Epstein in prison, it’s a release that’s long overdue. One reporter who no doubt vehemently agrees with this sentiment is reporter Amy Robach, who said she had the story a full three years before Epstein’s death, only for her employer at the time, ABC News, to, in her words, “quash” the whole thing. This information comes from a leaked video of Robach’s comments...
