The Prince's withdrawal comes shortly after the publication of excerpts from a posthumous memoir by the former main accuser, Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre, who committed suicide in 2025, was one of the most well-known victims of Jeffrey Epstein and made serious allegations against him and Prince Andrew. In her autobiography, Giuffre describes how she met the then 41-year-old Prince Andrew in March 2001. She reports that she was staying with Ghislaine Maxwell in London, who assured her that she would "meet a handsome prince like Cinderella". According to Giuffre, Andrew noticed that she was underage, as his daughters were "just a bit younger" than her. The evening escalated when they went together to the exclusive London club "Tramp" and later returned to Maxwell's house. There, according to Giuffre, they had sex. Andrew acted "as if it were his right to sleep with me". The next morning Maxwell told her: "The Prince had fun," and Epstein paid her 15,000 dollars. These allegations have severely damaged the Prince's reputation and led to a wave of public outrage. Although Andrew has always denied any unlawful actions, he has become untenable in the eyes of many as a member of the royal family.

Final Withdrawal from Public Life

With the renouncement of his titles, Prince Andrew is now completely withdrawing from public life. He will not even attend the traditional royal family Christmas celebration in Sandringham this year, according to media reports. This is another sign that the former Duke of York has given up any attempt to play an active role within the royal house. His decision marks a further low point in a story that has been tarnishing the royal house for years. While the family is trying to restore its reputation, Andrew's name remains inextricably linked with one of the darkest chapters of its history. For Prince Andrew, this step marks an end to a long series of errors and controversies. But for the royal house, the question now arises as to how it will continue to deal with the aftermath of this scandal - at a time when the monarchy is already under increasing criticism.
