Prince Andrew Loses Military and Royal Titles as U.S. Sex Assault Case Proceeds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Queen Elizabeth has stripped British royal Prince Andrew of his military
titles and royal patronages amid the ongoing sexual assault case against
him. Earlier this week, a U.S. judge ruled a sex abuse lawsuit against
Andrew can proceed, after his lawyers tried to get it dismissed citing a
deal between the plaintiff Virginia Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre
has accused Prince Andrew of raping her when she was just 17.
