Downing Street has confirmed that Keir Starmer fully backs the decision to remove Prince Andrew of his titles. The UK Government expressed solidarity with Virginia Giuffre’s family and all victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Following Buckingham Palace’s announcement that Prince Andrew will vacate Royal Lodge due to his association with the disgraced financier, he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

The government spokesperson stated their full support for the Palace’s decision and extended their condolences to the victims of Epstein’s reprehensible actions. Trade Minister Sir Chris emphasized the public’s long-standing desire for Andrew’s titles to be revoked, citing the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre as evidence of his abuse of trust and authority.

Sir Chris called for Prince Andrew to address questions about his connections to Epstein in the US if requested, highlighting the importance of accountability. Despite Andrew’s denial of the accusations, Buckingham Palace acknowledged “serious lapses of judgment” and announced his relocation to alternative accommodation. The Palace stated that the decision to strip his titles was necessary despite his denial of the allegations.
