Prince Andrew’s military titles and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen as the embattled Duke of York faces legal action over sexual assault allegations.

The 61-year-old has retained the title His Royal Highness but will be forced to stop using it in any official capacity, a royal source has revealed.

A judges ruling on Wednesday allowing the civil action to proceed was deemed “not a judgement on the merits of Ms Giuffre's allegations” by the same source. Prince Andrew’s titles and roles have been returned to the Queen with immediate effect and will later be given to other members of the royal family.Runaway royals Prince Harry and Meghan also lost the use of the title HRH after stepping down from official duties.

He is expected to continue to defend himself against Virginia Giuffre as a private citizen and his representatives said fighting the case is a “marathon and not a sprint”. Other titles he has lost include colonel-in-chief of the Princess Louise Fusiliers of Canada and colonel-in-chief of the Queen's York Rangers .Despite being an ex-member of the armed forces Prince Andrew was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Navy on his 55th birthday in 2015.

Commons Defence Select Committee Chair Tobias Ellwood has welcomed the decision to return the Duke of York's military titles and royal patronages to the Queen.
