The second son of the Queen of England, Prince Andrew seems to be in deep waters after facing another public scandal.

Andrew has been relieved of his military designations and royal patronage according to Buckingham Palace. All his titles have been restored to the Queen at the moment.

This implies that the Duke of York will no longer use the title ‘His Royal Highness’ in any official capacity,”

This unfortunate scenario happened with his nephew, Prince Harry, when he and his wife, Meghan, withdrew from royal responsibilities and relocated to the United States in 2020.

Buckingham Palace’s decision follows the admission of a civil sex abuse lawsuit against Queen Elizabeth II’s second son by a federal judge in New York on Wednesday.
