Overnight Queen Elizabeth II stripped Prince Andrew of his royal and military titles after a New York judge ruled to prevent the Royal’s lawyers from blocking a sexual assault lawsuit<\/a> on Wednesday. The Duke of York will face civil court at a later date.<\/p>\n

According to a royal source for\u00a0New York Post<\/a>, <\/em>Andrew will no longer use the title \u201cHis Royal Highness\u201d in an official capacity while his military titles including vice admiral of the Royal Navy and honorary colonel of the Grenadier Guards were also taken.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace said in a statement<\/a> today: “With the Queen’s approval and agreement, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to the Queen.”<\/p>\n

“The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old is being sued by Virginia Giuffre for sexual assault while she was under the age of 18. Within the lawsuit she alleges that Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew forced her to engage in sexual activity with the Queen\u2019s second son. Attorneys for Andrew attempted to block the lawsuit this week arguing that a $500,000 USD settlement between Guiffre and Epstein in 2009 meant he could not be sued.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace initially refused to comment on the court proceedings, telling\u00a0The Independent<\/a>, <\/em>\u201cWe would not comment on what is an ongoing legal matter.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

It comes after close friend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty on five counts of aiding Epstein in the trafficking of teenage girls for sexual abuse between 1994 and 2004, in late December. The jury deliberated for five days. She is yet to be sentenced.<\/p>\n
