The move comes as Andrew faces fresh scrutiny over his relationship with the late peadophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and allegations made against him by the late Virginia Giuffre.

“As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me,” he said.
He will, however retain the title Prince which he earned from birth.
