Now that Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal affiliations and patronages, the disgraced Duke of York has become the topic of inquiry for British media reporting on the royals.
However, the royal family appears to be embracing a pact of silence when asked about Andrew, who’s being sued by Virginia Giuffre for sexuaL assault, alleging she was trafficked to Andrew when she was underage by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Charles responded by not responding at all, completely ignoring the reporter and walking past him without acknowledging the question.
Last week, Buckingham Palace issued a statement, reading, “With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”
