Prince Andrew, HRH Duke of York, is facing a lawsuit filed in a New York court. The civil suit was filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s lawyers and they’re seeking an undisclosed amount of money in damages. Giuffre, now 38 and the mother of three kids, was one of the principal girls trafficked by late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the lawsuit, Giuffre is seeking unspecified damages against the British prince for raping her on three different occasions, starting when she was just seventeen years old.
The result of this lawsuit is a renewed call to end the monarchy. In fact, Republic, an anti-monarchy organization, is using Prince Andrew’s damaged reputation to campaign for the end of the monarchy. In light of these recent events, it is said that future king William sees Andrew’s frivolous lifestyle as a “threat” to the monarchy.
Prince Andrew Described As “Threat to Royal Family”
In a July 2020 comment to Insider, Prince Andrew’s representatives “categorically” denied “any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors.”

He stepped down from his role as a senior royal in 2019 after giving his famous BBC interview, where he denied having recollections of meeting Virginia Giuffre. Despite reports of Prince Andrew’s desire to return to his royal duties, experts think it is very unlikely it will ever happen even if he emerges victorious in Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit.
Is Prince Andrew The Royal Families “Bad Apple”
“This drip, drip, drip not only involves Andrew but, because he is the Queen’s second son, also engages the whole royal family, tarnishes their image and, by implication, Britain’s image too,” historian Tessa Dunlop told the Times.
A palace source also revealed that the royal family is “not currently planning any future rebranding of his role.”

Prince William Is Not Impressed
Prince William, who was involved in the emergency talks regarding Andrew’s future in the monarchy, along with the Queen and Prince Charles, stands resolutely with the decision.
“William is no fan of Uncle Andrew,” the Times quoted a friend of the Duke of Cambridge as saying.
“Any suggestion that there isn’t gratitude for the institution, anything that could lead anyone in the public to think that senior members of the royal family aren’t grateful for their position, [William thinks] is really dangerous,” the source told the Times.

It seems to me that the second born children of Kings and Queens in the UK have all had psychological problems. This has gone on for 3 generations. Image growing up and always being second best.
