He's still a prince, but that's about it. Prince Andrew announced Friday that he has given up all of his "titles and honours" after discussing it with his older brother King Charles of England and other members of the royal family. "In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family," Prince Andrew said in a statement.

The teenage girl at the centre of the picture is dead, having taken her own life at a remote Australian farmhouse earlier this year, unable to outrun her trauma. The person who took the photograph is dead, having somehow killed himself in a New York jail while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking. The grinning woman in the background is in prison herself, exalting Donald Trump's impeccable purity in the hope of getting moved to a nicer jail or even pardoned.

The royal family was always a disaster waiting to happen. Its creation as a marketable entity in the 1960s by the late Queen Elizabeth II was meant to modernise the monarchy for the 20th century. It worked, but only up to a point. Her son Prince Andrew has long been its biggest liability, this week in trouble yet again due to his alleged behaviour within that ghoulish circle, the friends of Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew and Sarah were rude to staff and acted entitled to special treatment, despite lacking the financial means to support their extravagant lifestyles. They both had an open marriage before separating in 1992.

According to historian Andrew Lownie, President Donald Trump and Prince Andrew were overheard discussing Trump's plans for a golfing complex and talking entirely about p*ssy, with Trump providing a list of masseuses for the prince.
