Prince Andrew's dukedom called into question by York MP

Sky, 16 Feb 2022
York Central MP Rachael Maskell says many of her constituents do not want Prince Andrew to keep the title Duke of York.

Prince Andrew's royal duties were taken away when allegations of sexual assault were raised by the sex trafficking victim, Virginia Giuffre. The two settled the lawsuit out of court.

The Labour MP voiced her opinions tweeting: "A young woman trafficked and exploited. She bravely spoke out. People of privilege, position and power tried to suppress and silence. This must be a turning point, where York is not a Duke's title but a people's movement to fight for the rights of women and girls.'

Prince Andrew has denied all allegations against him.
