PRINCE Andrew has been STRIPPED of all of his military honours by the Queen following the sex assault lawsuit.
The bombshell news was announced by Buckingham Palace this evening

Buckingham Palace said in a statement this evening: "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

Stripped of military titles according to The Sun.

Incredible if true as I'd expect it would have happened if he lost the case or settled but not now.

He is not a working royal so like harry he loses the lot

Think some owe the Queen an apology on here!

What about his 'Randy Andy' sobriquet? Does he have to hand that back?

Earlier today, veterans from the Royal Navy, RAF and Army called for Andrew's military honours to be taken away.

The 152 ex-services personnel have signed an open letter to the Queen, which was released through anti-monarchy group Republic.

They have described their "upset and anger" at Andrew keeping his titles as his position is "untenable".

The group also say the royal has brought the services he is associated with into disrepute and "were this any other senior military officer it is inconceivable that he would still be in post".

They add: "Please do not leave it any longer.

The Firm can be ruthless when necessary. As they should be on this occasion.

I really do hope he remembers that he is no longer a Royal.....with all those memory issues he has....Come on Andy, you can do it, no sweat.
