Prince Andrew has renounced his royal title.

“After discussions with the King and my immediate family, I have come to the conclusion that continued accusations about me will interfere with the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” a statement released by the royal family and obtained by Fox News Digital said. “As always, I have decided to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to step back from public life.”

“With His Majesty’s consent, we feel we must go a step further,” the statement continued. “Therefore, I will no longer use my title or the honor bestowed on me. As I have stated previously, I strongly deny the charges against me.”
