Far as his favorite son, Prince Andrew gave his mother Queen Elizabeth II slightly choice but to cause insults to peel it from his honor military title as a trial of US sexual assault.
The decision was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday in a short statement, dominating the UK Friday newspaper, with many who saw it as a sign of the 95-year-old queen’s desire to “distance themselves” from his son.
“This is the survival of kingdom institutions in all ways – and it will always be,” write a daily letter.
“Maybe it has ended for him” Now he has lost the protection of his kingdom and will no longer use the title “His Majesty”, the Royal Bob Morris said.
“The time comes to push it back further from the center of attention,” he told AFP.
The situation became unable to be maintained after New York judge on Wednesday refused to stop the civil lawsuit accusing the Prince of Virginia Giuffre’s sexual attacker when he was 17 years old.
He claimed he was offered to Prince by his friend Jeffrey Epstein.
Pressure increased when the 150 military personnel wrote to the Queen to denounce what they said was the lack of “probity, honesty and respectable behavior” in Andrew “.
Long-term scandals involving Duke of York, the nine in line with the throne, also threatened to shade celebrations in June to mark the 70th year of the government queen.
“I think it is very embarrassing that retired military personnel who demanded demanding that titles removed,” said Penny Junor, the author of many books about the British monarchy.
“It became damaging the Queen because the Queen was then seen protect her son.”
‘Scapegoat’
Morris said that “when it had come truly to execute plan B to protect the monarchy and to protect, specifically, Jubilee Platinum”.
Four days of celebrations are planned throughout the country in early June, including military parades, large concerts in London and pudding competitions.
The Queen, whose public appearance was increasingly scarce, was said to have made a decision after the discussion with Charles, the heir of the crown, and his grandson Prince William, the second in the line to the throne, British media said.
Andrew, reportedly called to Windsor Castle and went there with his lawyer.
He lived three miles (4.8 kilometers) from the castle at Royal Lodge, a former Queen’s mother’s house.
On Friday, he faced a call to “let go of his title as a Duke of York” due to the negative impact of this case with the North British city.
Whatever the results of the civilian court in New York – where financial settlement outside the court remains an option – anger will be directed at Andrew, not on the monarchy, Morris predicts.
Andrew “is a family black lamb, but the family will continue”, he added.
Andrew defended the Duke of York title and remained “Country Counselor”, a position given to Queen’s children, which allowed them to temporarily carry out their duties, if needed.
But he has resigned from public life after a mashed 2019 television interview, where he was faced about allegations of sexual violence, which he thought was expressly.
A government official refused to say on Friday whether the security details will continue to be paid by taxpayers.
It is also not clear whether he will be able to attend a warning service planned for his father Prince Philip in Westminster Abbey in the coming months.
