British King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of the rank of vice admiral
The head of the British Minister of Defense, John Healy, said that Prince Andrew would be stripped of the rank of vice Admiral of the Royal Navy. On November 2, the head of the department announced this on the BBC television channel.
According to him, the decision was made on the instructions of King Charles III, who expressed a desire to officially strip his brother of his military rank due to his ties with American financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
"We are working on this issue together with Buckingham Palace," he said.
At the same time, Healy clarified that the issue of Andrew's possible deprivation of military awards has not yet been considered. It is known that the Duke of York took part in the Falklands War in 1982.
On October 31, The Guardian newspaper reported that King Charles III of Great Britain would pay his brother Prince Andrew a six-figure sum to move out of the royal residence, and then provide him with an annual allowance. It was clarified that this decision is related to the need to preserve the reputation of the British monarchy amid the ongoing scandal surrounding Prince Andrew's ties with financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Prior to that, on October 30, King Charles III of Great Britain initiated an official procedure to deprive Prince Andrew of his title, titles and honors. An official notice was sent to him about the refusal to rent the Royal Lodge residence. According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, he will move into private housing.
