While Andrew initially announced he would no longer use his royal titles, there were further damaging allegations about his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, prompting the King to formally remove his honours.

    For the crimes of sexual assault of minors I sentence you to be called MISTER Andrew Windsor! You must also downsize your nearly rent free free housing to a mere 5,000+ sqft cottage next to Windsor castle. It pains me to be so harsh to my own brother, but an example must be made. Let this be a warning for all pedophiles throughout the kingdom!

    – King Charles, maybe

            Most kings who didn’t came to power through birth right did it it through crime and violence and made themselves king. Only with Trump people voted for it. What a boring dystopia we live in.

        They have known about this for years and protected him. In this case, they probably did have the means to make sure he ended up in prison, and probably still do.

          I read an article on this a while ago and I’m not sure what UK crimes he is known to have committed.

          Our age of consent is 16 so he didn’t sexually assault a minor. If he did what he did then in the present day then he’d have broken sex trafficking laws but those laws were weak or non existent at the time.

          Obviously, there’s a fair chance that he did commit a crime that we don’t know about and finding out about that would be made very difficult due to who he is.
