UK force leaders want Prince Andrew stripped of military titles
Senior UK military leaders want Prince Andrew to be stripped of his honorary positions in the Royal Army and Navy because he has become such an embarrassment over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a report said.
Andrew is a former naval helicopter pilot who flew in the Falklands War and holds several senior honorary military positions.
But his disastrous recent BBC interview in which he tried to defend his friendship with the late pedophile has made him a source of derision among the ranks, leading current and former navy and army members to call for him to be “quietly faded out,” the Times of London reported Thursday.
“It’s just not viable. It’s embarrassing to be represented by someone like that,” a source told the UK paper.
Others suggested Andrew’s apparent reluctance to cooperate with US authorities probing Epstein was against military values.
“A soldier would be expected to stand up for what he’s done,” one source reportedly said.
