TeaThe king should be praised for doing the right thing by stripping his brother of his titles and ousting him Royal Lodge In Windsor. This was a strong and serious decision, that is why it was not taken hastily.
This has to be considered carefully, not only because Andrew Mountbatten WindsorThe former prince has not been convicted of any crime. He says he is innocent, and it is one of the most important principles of British law that he is accepted – until proven otherwise.
But King’s conclusion was correct: “These condemnations are deemed necessary“Despite the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor guilty of errors of judgment in relationship with Jeffrey Epstein American financier Who was found dead in his cell in 2019 after being charged with conspiracy to traffic minors for sex.
Former prince has been convicted of continuing his relationship with Epstein even after being convicted of a lesser crime buying a child for prostitutionas part of a Plea bargain in 2008Finally, Andrew also claimed that he had prematurely stopped keeping in touch with Epstein.

The king probably acted with the consent, and possibly with the encouragement, of Prince William. Father and son appear to recognize that, while royal titles cannot be decided by opinion polls, the status of the family and its constitutional role, rightly limited, rests on popular consent.
Now it’s up to Andrew to move forward. She needs to suppress her great weakness, her sense of entitlement and her assumption that everyone shares her self-assessment, which she shared with Emily Maitlis in that stupid interview,”very respectable,
Now is the time for him to put Epstein’s victims first, recognize where his duty really lies, and say what he knows.
