Why King Charles Has Not Yet Removed Andrew’s Most Valued Title: Prince

King Charles III has not yet removed Prince Andrew's title of prince despite recent scandalous disclosures about his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The details were outlined in a newly published email and a memoir by an Epstein victim who accused Andrew of raping her as a teenager. Calls for him to be stripped of his titles have led to a chicken-and-egg debate between the government and Buckingham Palace. The Labour Party has introduced a bill that would give the king authority to rescind royal titles on his own initiative, but it faces multiple hurdles. Prince Andrew has denied the accusations and has not been convicted of a crime. Amending the Letters Patent to strip him of his title is possible, but experts say it would be a grave step requiring agreement from the king and government in advance.
