Majority of Britons Support Stripping Prince Andrew of Royal Titles

LONDON, England – A recent YouGov survey shows that 67% of Britons favor stripping Prince Andrew of his royal titles. This comes on the heels of allegations made in a new biography, “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” authored by Andrew Lownie.

The biography claims that Prince Andrew had a longer association with Jeffrey Epstein than he has publicly admitted and suggests that foreign intelligence services may possess compromising material against him. It also alleges that Prince Harry once punched Andrew in a family dispute.

Despite maintaining his royal titles, Andrew has faced mounting public disapproval. According to the survey, only 5% of participants view him favorably. The outcry for removing his titles has significant backing among the public, including 46% of respondents who feel strongly about the issue.

Opposition to the measure appears strongest among Conservative voters and those aged over 50. However, the support for removal cuts across gender, age, and political lines, indicating a broader consensus in public opinion.

Following the survey results, local campaigns have emerged in regions associated with Andrew’s titles, such as York and Scotland, pushing for disassociation from the troubled prince.

In addition to his titles, Andrew has found himself embroiled in a myriad of scandals, prompting King Charles III to contemplate the issue earlier in his reign. Andrew was stripped of his royal duties in recent years and remains a controversial figure in the royal family.

As part of his harsh realities, Andrew must now self-fund the maintenance of the Royal Lodge at Windsor Great Park and is facing severe public scrutiny due to his connections with Epstein and other alleged misdeeds.

The biography, which has gained media attention ahead of its release on August 14, recounts not only allegations of Andrew’s notorious behavior but also insights into his strained relationships with other royals, creating a snapshot of a family rife with controversy.

These findings raise questions about the future of Prince Andrew’s royal status, as the King has yet to make a definitive move regarding his brother’s titles in light of the continuing fallout from these revelations.
