After all, as a military man, it would appear that he showed a severe lack of judgment. In the past, potentially, he might have been stripped of all his honors and cashiered in a formal ceremony.

Leaks revealed that insiders wanted Prince Andrew to have all his titles removed. In fact, he already no longer represents the queen. Additionally, his mom’s not at all interested in helping to fund his legal fees or any settlement. Naturally, even if she wants to, probably, the perceptions of the public would prevent that. Right now, she seems to fight hard to even justify the Royal Family as a necessity to the British public. Reports also emerged that as Andrew is the colonel-in-chief of nine military regiments, senior officials in the military felt it would be impossible for him to retain his honorary titles.
