Prince Andrew joined his family firm after two decades in the Navy, spending time carrying out official engagements and representing the Queen and the United Kingdom abroad.
However, in response to public outrage after the aforementioned Newsnight interview concerning his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew has stepped back from public life for the foreseeable future.
Prince Andrew parents: Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip
His parents are Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
A judge dismissed Prince Andrew’s attorneys’ plea to dismiss the civil action in January 2021. Buckingham Palace published a statement shortly after that news emerged, declaring that Andrew’s military titles and patronages had been restored to the Queen.
Prince Andrew has previously attended his mother to engagements when Prince Philip was not present but, since his retirement from royal life, that hasn’t always been the case. When he did attend his mother to Prince Philip’s burial ceremony in March 2022, it instantly made news.
