Absolutely. Randy Andy has disgraced the Royal family. I am so disappointed in Andrew and Sarah. The fact that he paid in an attempt to have it "go away" is confirmation of his guilt. If he were innocent, he would have fought to his death to prove it.

I don’t believe he should be stripped of the title. Firstly, he was born to that title, and also he has never been convicted of anything and has denied the charges. He shot himself in the foot with that interview but that still doesn’t make him guilty of anything until proven so. He has remained loyal and supportive to his family.

Just my two cents

He hasn't been stripped of his title. they are in abeyance, which means he can still use them if he wants. The King should have completely removed the titles through Parliament and removed him from the website and any other place he has access to. This is a shambles. The RF has been besmirched enough by Andrew and Fergie, and I might add, Harry & Meghan. All should have their titles removed. And, the announcement should have been made by the King, not Andrew. Enough is enough.

Absolutely. The next to receive the same treatment is Harry and MM.

Horrible were the accusations and/or actions regarding Prince Andrew, but nothing was proven as fact (though I'm *not doubting* Virginia Giuffre). The fact that one is considered innocent till proven guilty is nowhere in sight here. It looks like Andrew has become the scapegoat and whipping-boy for ALL of Jeffrey Epstein's heinous maneuvers/lifestyle, including for all the names on the so-called list. If true--but still unproven--Andrew has lost almost everything--sure, we can say "how bad can that be, he's a prince?!"--but it's all he's ever known, and in many ways, he has nothing else to compare his life to; I'm talking about compared with the lives WE all share/know. Andrew's being punished for ALL of Epstein's degenerates.

It is not just about Virginia it is about all of the many years he and Fergie have been associating with Epstein. Just because nothing has been proved doesn't mean he hasn't availed himself of all of Epstein's wares. Disgusting that both of them have continue to lie about their relationship with him while assuring Epstein he was their 'super' friend. All titles and any other associations with the RF need to be cut completely. For good!

I agree to some extent that Andrew has been the face of the Epstein abuse. After all, we have seen none of Epstein enabled other abusers with his arms around a victim. And being a Royal does make him a target. However, even if he is one of thousands of abusers, he should at least recognize and to atone for his sins..

I agree wholeheartedly with you, Anne.

The very large payout to VG must be considered as a partial admission of guilt. If he were really innocent, be would have fought it in court and probably won. Also, this latest revelation about being "in it together" and "playing again" with Epstein is surely the nail in his coffin. Claiming he has always been dutiful to the Crown is laughable. Let's face it: this man IS laughable!

PS Remember Koo Stark?

Absolutely. And the next to receive the same treatment is Harry...oh, not forgetting super fake and self-vitimised MM too. MM especially makes people so sick. H takes more blame cos he is thick and merely imbecilic therefore UBER blind not to see how sly MM has an upperhand and every tactic to milk her way to the Firm and then bad-mouthed people in the castle. What a terrible, ungrateful , hypocritical and egotistical woman she is.

Prince Andrew has never been convicted of anything. Virginia was in it for the money you can see that by just looking at her.Prince Andrew has just bad pressure put on him he should not have any Titles taken from him.

I do not believe his titles should be taken away from him. He was born to that the honorary titles yes take those, but he served his country and he is the son of Queen Elizabeth. He’ll always be Prince Andrew no matter what.

Being born to the Queen he will always be a prince. His behaviour/stupidity meant it was justifiable to remove his honorary titles. However he did serve the country honourably during the Falklands War. From the photograph at the time it did not look as if Giuffre was being forced into a relationship with him.

I don't agree stripping Andrew and his wife of everything. I am sure that some of the other members of the Royal Family are not Lilly White, totally above reproach, and have not been vetted completely anywhere.

I don't think he should be striped of everything he shouldn't be let into the family royal duties but he needs to do everything to make what he has done right. I think if he knows that he has to do everything right to be able to go around the other Royals he may get his act together.

King Charles didn’t strip Andrew of his titles. He still has them until Parliament removes the titles. Andrew just agreed to not use them.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. It seems to me Andrew often feels he is "special" and not burdened with the responsibilities associated with his title. Glad QEII is not here to see this turn of events.

It shouldn't have taken such an international impact on the matter, after all the girl was out there to please men..teenager or not did

n't matter for her. But there was a RH among them ....money can be made. Right or wrong legal or not there were $$$ in sight. Meaning too $$$ for the media! Its all old news now

Then came the spy another great subject for the media and the haters of some people being involved. Titles? Sure he has some and deserved some . To me he has like the others always been Prince Period

Charles should have covered or put a stop to it all. Starting with his passes there is nothing to be proud of. And worse become king ruining a young woman’s life. She stood tall and was a very active and present princess and Mom While he was fooling around with a low class ugly woman who doesn't represent well the monarchie.

William thinks he has an idea of a better royalty. And Harry is the best natural spontaneous attitude that people love. His wife is not worth talking about.

All the other royal members are OK

And yes I'm hurt with the decisions. And a low p

ofile would have been better and would have let us enjoy our royal the way we like them and enjoy them l They are all part of our lives and we grew up with them as well growing older

And when are they going to kick him out of his residence? He can't afford it, and there have been many reports that he's allowing it to go even further downhill.
