King Charles could take measures against Prince Andrew, including the withdrawal of the title Duke of York, in the context of the ongoing controversies affecting him. Buckingham Palace has reached a 'critical point', and the monarch is considering options to distance the Royal House from Andrew, who is associated with international scandals. Possible measures include exclusion from the Order of the Garter, but such a decision would require a law passed by Parliament.
Concerns have recently increased due to Andrew's connections with Jeffrey Epstein and Chinese officials, such as Cai Qi, involved in espionage scandals. Additionally, Virginia Giuffre's memoirs, which bring new allegations, have amplified the controversy. A survey shows that 67% of respondents support the withdrawal of the title, which would represent a significant measure from the Royal House since the withdrawal of Andrew's official duties in 2019.
