Prince Andrew had stepped down from Royal duties in November last year after an accusation involving Jeff Einstein. In his response, the Duke of York said:
“It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein have become a major disruption to my family’s work and the valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support. Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission. I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein.
His suicide has left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure. I can only hope that, in time, they will be able to rebuild their lives. Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required.”
Recently, News has it that there’ll possibly be a downgrade of security for Prince Andrew following a Scotland Yard review. This decision will depend on Home Secretary Priti Patel and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
So far Buckingham Palace has no responsibility toward the security issue
The father of two was last seen in public at St Mary Magdalene Church for Christmas Day service in the company of Prince Charles, his brother.
