Britain’s Prince Andrew said on Friday that he would give up using his title of Duke of York following years of criticism over his behaviour and connections to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The reputation of Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles and the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has suffered in recent years, particularly due to his links to Epstein.
There have also been revelations that one of his close business associates was believed by the government to be a Chinese spy.
In a statement, Andrew said that “the continued accusations about me” distracted from the work of his elder brother, King Charles, and the wider work of the British royal family.
“I will therefore no longer use the title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me,” Andrew stated.
Andrew, 65, the eighth in line to the throne, was once regarded as a dashing naval officer and served in the military during the Falklands War with Argentina in the early 1980s.
However, he later gained a reputation as a playboy prince and, in 2022, was stripped of most of his titles and removed from royal duties due to his connections with Epstein.
That same year, he settled a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, who died in April, accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager. Andrew has always denied her account, which has resurfaced in prominence following the release of her memoir last week.
