Calls for Prince Andrew to lose Duke of York title
Britain's Prince Andrew is keeping his dukedom and his service rank of Vice Admiral and will remain a Counsellor of State despite agreeing to an out-of-court settlement in a sexual assault lawsuit.
There are growing calls for Andrew to give up the Duke of York title, or for Queen Elizabeth II to remove it, in the wake of his financial agreement with Virginia Giuffre, who accused the duke of having sex with her when she was 17 and a minor under US law.
The dukedom was a gift from his mother on his wedding day in 1986 and was previously used by the Queen's father George VI.
Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who represents York Central, has called on Andrew to withdraw his title to show "respect" for people living in York.
