Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal and military titles, according to a statement released by the Palace Thursday.

“With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen,” the statement said. “The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”

The announcement comes as the 61-year-old royal faces a sex-assault lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre Roberts.
