Prince Andrew will no longer be able to refer to himself as “His Royal Highness,” according to a Thursday statement released by Buckingham Palace.
“With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronage have been returned to The Queen,” the statement read.

“The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”
PRINCE ANDREW DISMISSAL ATTEMPT FAILS
All of the Duke of York’s roles are to be redistributed within the Royal Family, and they will not be returned to him, according to a report.
The loss of his titles and patronages comes in the wake of an open letter from at least 150 veterans of the British military petitioning the Queen to strip her second son of his military titles.
The Royal announcement was released a day after a New York judge refused to dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit against the Duke of York.
The lawsuit alleges that he sexually abused Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 after she had been trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein.
