Brother of the late Virginia Giuffre calls on King to strip Andrew of the title ‘prince’
PANICKING Prince Andrew cancelled a birthday party for wife Sarah Ferguson at the last minute as the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal engulfed him.
Fergie had been due to celebrate turning 66 last Wednesday with a lavish bash at their mansion in Windsor.
But Andrew axed it as he faced calls to give up his royal titles, including Duke of York and his role as a member of the prestigious and historic Order of the Garter.
And last night, the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre — who said she had sex with Andrew in London when she was just 17 — called on the King to go even further and strip him of the title “prince”.
He told BBC Newsnight “We would call on the King to potentially go ahead and take out the prince in the Andrew.”
Last night royal author Ingrid Seward said: “People are furious. He might not be a Duke any more, but he still lives like a Prince.
“How can he possibly continue to live on the Windsor Park estate in a 30-room mansion?
“The time has come for the King to tell Andrew to pack up and tell him: ‘I’m sorry, take the money you’ve put into Royal Lodge and start a new life elsewhere.’
“His actions have played a large part in disgracing his family. Does he really want to be the man to play a part in bringing down the monarchy?”
Andrew reportedly paid £12million to settle the legal case brought by Virginia in 2022.
‘Victory for Virginia’
But announcing his titles axe on Friday, he again declared: “I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
Prince William, meanwhile, is said to want to ban Andrew from his future coronation as King — and even exclude him from other royal and state occasions.
He considers his uncle’s presence in royal life a “threat” to the monarchy that could send the wrong message to abuse victims, according to The Sunday Times. It is understood he will also ban Sarah Ferguson from royal events.
In her book Nobody’s Girl — due out on Tuesday, following her suicide in April — Virginia talked about living with an “emotional time bomb” over her ordeal at the hands of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and the prince.
She said she suffered recurring nightmares and flashbacks of “disturbing images”, including “greedy, heaving men”.
