U.K. to strip Andrew of his last military position, minister says
LONDON — Britain’s former Prince Andrew is set to be stripped of his last remaining military position as part of King Charles’ decision to remove his brother from public life, the defense minister announced on Sunday.
John Healey told BBC television that moves were underway to take away Andrew’s position as a vice admiral in the British navy, noting that Charles had “indicated that’s what he wishes.”
Last week, the king stripped his younger brother of his title of prince and evicted him from his mansion in a bid to prevent further damage to the royal family’s reputation over Andrew’s ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“This is a move that’s right. It’s a move the king has indicated we should take and we’re working on that at the moment,” Healey said.
Prince Andrew had retained his rank as a vice admiral in 2022 when he relinquished his other military positions.
