LONDON (AP) — He won’t call himself a duke anymore, but that is not enough for many of Prince Andrew’s critics.

Buckingham Palace and the British government were under pressure Monday to formally strip Prince Andrew of his princely title and sumptuous home after new revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

After discussions with his elder brother King Charles III, Andrew agreed on Friday to stop using titles including Duke of York. It was the latest effort to insulate the monarchy from years of tawdry headlines about Andrew’s suspicious business deals, inappropriate behavior and controversial friendships.

But he still technically holds the title of duke, bestowed by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. And as the son of a monarch, he remains a prince.

1. Oh yes, it is very important for TPTB in the UK and their sicko sycophants to pretend that they

have not known for decades exactly what he was doing or had done. Must take action now, as if they just learned any of it yesterday. It is in the news AGAIN and so TPTB get to pretend they just learned some beyond the pale new information AGAIN. And AGAIN too much of the public acts like TPTB are somehow behaving responsibly when they feign righteous outrage and disgust with what they've long known and tolerated.
