On Wednesday of this week, the links of the prince andrew con Jeffrey Epstein. The brother of king Charles III was named in court documents that were unsealed that night.
The large number of documents come from a lawsuit filed in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre against Esstein. Jeffrey, died by suicide while awaiting trial for federal charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking.
In the documents, Johanna Sjoberg alleged that Prince Andrew placed his hand on her chest while posing for a group photo with Giuffre, Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and “a puppet with the likeness of Andrés.”
The son of the Queen isabel II, 63-year-old, previously admitted knowing Epstein but denied any wrongdoing. In 2019, the Duke of York sat down to an explosive interview with the BBCwhere he spoke about it.
In said interview, he said that he had no “no memory of having known” to Giuffre, who alleges that was forced to have sexual relations with the prince three times between 1999 and 2002 when he was 17 years old.
Can King Charles III take away his titles?
After the scandal, the prince said in a statement that he had asked Queen Elizabeth II if he could retire from public duties, and she “gave him permission.” Finally, the monarch, stripped him of his military titles and sponsorships in 2022.
However, Andrew retained his title as Duke of Yorkand maintained his place in the line of succession to the throne, where he currently occupies eighth place, behind the two sons of the Prince Harry y Meghan Markle.
Although the drama came to light again, sources assure that it is unlikely that Charles III will take away his brother’s royal titles. In fact, remove titles It is not even in the power of the monarch.
Gert’s Royals pointed out that The power to remove titles lies with Parliament. “But they will find it difficult to do so in this case. “The legislative branch or the executive branch does not have the power to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime.”
“It is the job of the judiciary to determine if someone is guilty. And then other branches can act on that decision. And since there have never been any charges or convictions against Andrés, in the eyes of the UK government, he is innocent.“.
As noted Peoplethere is currently a bill that would allow a monarch to have the power to remove titles, but it would have to go through several steps to be enacted.
