Prince Andrew just gave up his royal title, the Duke of York, after King Charles and the rest of the royal family finally ran out of patience with the scandal-tarred noble.
But don’t expect the disgraced duke to be out on the street polishing his résumé. For non-blue bloods, he faces mostly humiliation by losing out on his fancy title, not exactly hardship.
The Post breaks down exactly what the news means:Why is Prince Andrew giving up his dukedom?
Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that Andrew, 65, has agreed to stop using his titles and honors, including “Duke of York” and the “His Royal Highness” styling, after a “discussion with The King.”
The move came after a brutal week of headlines. There was the newly surfaced 2011 email showed Andrew telling Jeffrey Epstein, “We’re in this together,” contradicting years of denials about their friendship.
Most recently, British papers revealed he’d met with a top Chinese official later tied to a UK spy case.
That was the final straw for King Charles, who reportedly decided his younger brother had become “poisonous” to the monarchy.
