We are born into the royal family.
In a statement issued by Buckingham Palace on October 17, Prince Andrew said that he will no longer use his title or be honored because it conflicts with the work of King Charles and other senior members of the unit.
How?
Because of Andrew’s previous connection to sex-trafficking accused Jeffrey Epstrein.
“In a discussion with the King, and my immediate and extended family, we have finalized the continuation of me deviating from the work of His Majesty and my family. I stand by my decision to my family,” said Andrew in his statement.
“According to the Njabakhusi agreement, we feel that now I have to move on. Therefore, I will no longer use my title or the honors bestowed upon me.
“As I said before, I strongly deny the allegations against me.”

Andrew then announced that he would be returning to his public duties.
“It has become clear to me in the past few days that the situation surrounding my previous meeting with Jeffrey Epstrein has become a major announcement at work and at important organizations that I am proud of and at existing organizations that I am proud to support,” she said in a November 2019 statement.
“Therefore, I have asked his majesty if I may return to public duties for the foreseeable future, and you have given him permission.”
