Prince Andrew drops royal titles

Britain's Prince Andrew says he will no longer use his royal titles after new details came to light about his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move follows what royal watchers say was pressure from King Charles and Prince William on Andrew to step back entirely from royal duties amid further allegations emerging from accuser Virginia Giuffre's upcoming posthumous memoir. Prince Andrew denies the allegations but in a statement, he said "continued accusations" "distract from the work of the royal family".

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, in her own words

Virginia Giuffre was a 16-year-old employee at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 when she says she was recruited by Ghislane Maxwell into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring, which Maxwell denies. Before she died by suicide earlier this year, Giuffre wrote a memoir, "Nobody's Girl," and sought the release of the Epstein Files, currently under control of the Trump administration. Tracy Smith talks with Giuffre's co-author, Amy Wallace, and with her brother and sister-in-law, about the woman Giuffre was, her life after Epstein, and whether Maxwell – now in prison for sex trafficking – should be pardoned.
