50 organizations have since severed ties with Prince Andrew | Royals

entertainment">It turns out according to research by The Telegraph that especially the organizations that work with children find it ‘no longer appropriate’ to be associated with the prince. Andrew is accused by one of Epstein’s victims of having sex with her three times, one time when she was a minor.

entertainment">Some of the foundations indicated that they had not yet found a replacement for Prince Andrew, but that they were looking for someone who “better suited their goals and values.” Three of the organizations have contacted Buckingham Palace with the hope of recruiting someone from the royal family as patron or wife. In any case, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the York Minster Fund have found a new patron in Prince Charles. Other organizations indicated that they should distance themselves emotionally from Prince Andrew, but found that difficult because the middle son of Queen Elizabeth was never charged or convicted of a crime. Some therefore removed his picture from the wall or took his name from the website, without officially breaking ties.

Dilemma

entertainment">It was through the disastrous interview that Prince Andrew gave to the BBC in November 2019 that triggered his public resignation. In the interview, he addressed the allegations against him and his ties to Epstein, but came across as unbelievable to critics and viewers. Since then, the foundations in which he was involved have faced a dilemma.

entertainment">In addition, there was a lack of clarity because they did not hear about Prince Andrew’s palace or office and did not know exactly where they stood. It’s about 200. Of the about 150 with which The Telegraph contacted, 47 confirmed that they had ended their relationship with him. Many declined to comment or chose not to comment, suggesting that the topic is still very sensitive, according to the paper.
