Calls grow for King Charles to exile Prince Andrew

Royal commentators warned that Prince Andrew’s continued public presence risks further damage to the monarchy’s image and urged King Charles to take decisive action. Author Andrew Lownie argued that the Duke of York should be stripped of remaining titles and effectively sent into exile to safeguard the institution. Commentator Daisy McAndrew said the scandals surrounding Andrew, including his links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, have cast a shadow over the early years of Charles’s reign and complicated efforts to refocus the royal agenda. Analysts contend that resolute steps on residence, status and titles could limit any new reputational shocks.
