Britain’s Prince Andrew has been stripped of his remaining royal titles after fresh revelations about his connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein proved to be the final blow for King Charles III.

For more than four decades, the 65-year-old duke has drawn criticism for behavior that embarrassed the royal family, sparked lawsuits, and fueled claims that he misused his royal position for personal gain.

Key moments that damaged the image of Queen Elizabeth II’s second son include:

1984: Andrew sprayed journalists with paint while visiting a Los Angeles construction site, later remarking, “I enjoyed that.”
2007: He sold his Sunninghill Park mansion for 20% above its £15 million asking price to Kazakh businessman Timur Kulibayev, raising suspicions of influence-buying.
2010: An undercover sting caught Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, allegedly offering to sell access to him for £500,000.
2011: He resigned as the UK’s special trade envoy amid growing scrutiny over his ties to Epstein and the Gadhafi family.
2019: Epstein’s arrest and subsequent death in custody renewed attention on allegations that Andrew had sex with an underage girl trafficked by Epstein — claims he denies.
November 2019: His disastrous BBC interview defending his friendship with Epstein led to widespread backlash.
2020: The Palace suspended Andrew from royal duties and revoked his patronage of 230 charities.
2022: He settled a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre in the US for a reported $10 million, without admitting wrongdoing.
2024: Court documents linked him to a suspected Chinese spy banned from Britain for national security concerns.
April 2025: Giuffre died by suicide in Australia.
October 2025: Leaked emails showed Andrew contacted Epstein in 2011 — contradicting his earlier claim of cutting ties — writing that they were “in this together.”
The latest disclosure proved intolerable for King Charles, who ordered Andrew to surrender all remaining royal honors, effectively ending his public role.
