Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Government Faces Growing Calls To Strip Prince Andrew Of Dukedom
Caption: Government Faces Growing Calls To Strip Prince Andrew Of Dukedom. The UK government faces rising pressure to formally remove Prince Andrew’s Duke of York title, which remains valid until Parliament intervenes. MP Rachael Maskell says 88% of York residents oppose the title and is pushing for new laws to revoke such honours. Maskell insists her bill would prevent similar cases in the future: "We wouldn’t have this situation ever having to occur again”. The SNP urges swift action, demanding legislation "without excuses or delay”. SNP leader Stephen Flynn says stripping the title is right for victims and the public, accusing the powerful of hiding behind “privilege”. A separate bill targets Lord Mandelson’s peerage after his Epstein ties surfaced. Downing Street says the decision lies with the King, backing his judgment on Andrew’s titles. Pressure grows as Virginia Giuffre’s memoir Nobody’s Girl revives scrutiny of Andrew’s actions and links to Epstein.
