Prince Andrew summoned by his mum to be stripped of his titles

| The Duke of York was stripped of all military titles and patronages by the Queen and agreed no longer to use the moniker “His Royal Highness”, in an attempt to protect the royal family from the fallout of his sexual abuse case.

It is understood the Queen made her decision after lengthy discussions with the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge.Regardless of whether there is a trial or a settlement, the legal process is likely to be extremely embarrassing for the royal family. It is thought this development is an attempt to shield the institution, and leaves no way back to a public role for the Queen’s second son, with all official ties severed, leaving him in a form of internal exile.

“The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”A royal source said all the Duke’s roles had been handed back to the Queen with immediate effect for redistribution to other members of the Royal family. They will not be returned. “Given the robustness with which Judge Kaplan greeted our arguments, we are unsurprised by the ruling,” a source close to the Duke said.“However, it was not a judgment on the merits of Ms Giuffre’s allegations. This is a marathon not a sprint and the Duke will continue to defend himself against these claims.”

If the Queen cannot undertake her official duties as sovereign on a temporary basis, because of illness or absence abroad, two or more counsellors of state are appointed by a letters patent to act in her place.The Duke appeared expressionless as he was driven from his home, Royal Lodge, to nearby Windsor Castle in a Range Rover on Thursday. Gary Bloxsome, his lawyer, was in the front passenger seat, but is not believed to have joined the Duke inside the castle.

A letter signed by more than 150 veterans of the Royal Navy, British Army and RAF was sent to Her Majesty just hours before the announcement, urging her to strip the Duke of all ranks and titles within the Armed Forces.However, the decision is understood to have been in the pipeline for several days as senior members of the family discussed how best to defend themselves from the legal case fallout.
