Prince Andrew Stripped Of Military Affiliations

The prince is currently embroiled in a sexual assault lawsuit filed by a woman who claims he abused her when she was 17 years old.

Buckingham Palace said on Thursday that Prince Andrew's military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to Queen Elizabeth II with her “approval and agreement."

The palace statement came after more than 150 navy and army veterans wrote to the queen asking her to strip Andrew of all his military ranks and titles amid continued legal trouble for the prince, who is embroiled in a sex assault lawsuit in the U.S.  A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily)
