Royal Family News: Town Of York Wants Prince Andrew Stripped Of His Dukedom

British royal family news divulges that disgraced Prince Andrew has drawn the ire of the public and his family in recent years, with the emo-tornado going Cat 5 in February when he gave millions to his sexual abuse accuser. Andrew maintains his innocence.

Now it seems an entire town wants nothing to do with him. While Prince Andrew was photographed larking about on his high horse today in Windsor, reports surfaced that, “he could be stripped of his Duke of York title under a proposed law after ‘80%’ of people living in the city want their association with the disgraced royal officially ‘broken.’”

He appeared every bit the son of privilege and wealth that is he, today astride his mount even, “as he faced fresh calls to lose his Duke of York title.”

The Queen gave her second eldest son the title when he married Sarah Ferguson in 1986. But, based on his recent headlines, “residents in the historic city want it removed following the multi-million-pound out-of-court settlement with his accuser Virginia Giuffre earlier this year.”

The locals have expressed this sentiment often, and yet there is currently no, “mechanism for such a title to be removed, but Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, is seeking to address the gap in the law via her Removal of Titles Bill.”

The Bill seeks to give the queen the power to remove titles or a group in Parliament to decide that a title should be taken away. The latter option is probably the way to go, as the queen has been said to favor her son, reportedly her favorite.

Maskell said: “her constituents made it clear to her that they wanted the Duke of York’s title to be removed, particularly given York’s recognition as a Human Rights City.” To be fair, Andrew declared he is now a human rights/sex trafficking victim advocate when he paid millions to avoid going to court on a count of sexual misconduct with a minor. Doesn’t that count?

This is not the first inkling that Andrew may be stripped. Town officials have called for him to have their town name taken away from him within his title Duke of York. They stated that being associated with him caused, “deep hurt and embarrassment” to residents based on his friendship with dead convict and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
