Prince Andrew stepping back from royal duties

The Duke of York says he is stepping back from royal duties because the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has become a "major disruption" to the Royal Family.

Prince Andrew, 59, said he had asked the Queen for permission to withdraw for the "foreseeable future".

...

BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said the move was "a big step" and was "pretty much without precedent in modern times".

He said it showed a realisation that the interview had "upset a lot of people", adding: "It was more than just bad publicity for Prince Andrew, it was clearly damaging the wider institution of the Royal Family."

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Federal Court, alleges that the 76-year-old Finnish-born Canadian raped seven teenage girls, ages 14 to 16, at his private Nygard Cay getaway in the Bahamas — with some of the terrified teens drugged before they were sexually assaulted.

Among the guests at Nygard’s luxury property over the years was Prince Andrew, who came under scrutiny for his close ties to Jeffrey Epstein before the convicted sex offender committed suicide last year.
