Queen Elizabeth strips Prince Andrew of his military and royal titles
By Howie Katz
Prince Andrew has been embroiled in an embarrassing scandal over his close friendship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has also been sued by Virginia Giuffre for raping her three times when she was only 17. During a BBC interview Andrew denied ever having any sex with her and called Giuffre a publicity-hungry liar who made up her claims of sexual assault for a payday.

The
Queen, his mother, stripped Andrew of his titles just one day after US
District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled the Giuffre's lawsuit can go on.
Then
I'm not defending Prince Andrew, but when one hears that he "sexually assaulted" Virginia Giuffre, they immediately picture him as brutally forcing himself on a young unwilling girl who is screaming no or stop it.
Now, Andrew did break the law by screwing an underage girl. It used to be known as statuary rape, meaning that it is against the law to have sex, consensual or not, with an underage girl, the age is set arbitrarily by each state, mostly at 18.
Here's something else to consider. when the ages were set, it was believed that a girl under 18 did not have the capability of deciding to have sex. But in these times girls are having consensual sex at 15 or younger, and the only time an offending male is prosecuted is when the girl's parents file a complaint with the police.
So, shame, shame on Prince Andrew. But stripping Andrew of his royal and military titles seems to be way to harsh. Ten lashes with a wet noodle would have been sufficient.
And the Queen should not have been upset by Andrew's friendship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. After all, both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were close friends of Epstein.
As for Giuffre, in the above picture, she looks more like a young woman
in her 20s than a 17-year-old girl. And Andrew did not deflower her.
You can bet that when she and Andrew hooked up together, she was an
'experienced' teen. While I do believe Giuffre is telling the truth, she's doing so to score a big 'payday' as Andrew charged.
If the Queen wants to strip a royal of his titles, she should start with prince Harry. What he did is fare worse than screwing a 17-year old girl.
Oprah Winfrey has reportedly sold the interview to US broadcaster CBS for $7-9 million
Harry and the trollop that got her gold digging claws into the prince trashed the Royals during a lengthy TV interview with Oprah Winfrey. Both claimed the Royals were racists among other degrading allegations. That caused a crisis within the Monarchy
In addition to the bombshell Oprah interview, Harry has left merry old England to take up permanent residence in the United States.
So, who should have been stripped of their Royal and military titles ... Andrew or Harry? Both embarrassed the Royals, but Harry should have been stripped of his titles because he publicly trashed the royal family.
