Prince Andrew steps down from royal duties
The Duke of York says he is stepping back from royal duties because the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has become a "major disruption" to the Royal Family.
Prince Andrew, 59, said he had asked the Queen for permission to withdraw for the "foreseeable future".
He said he deeply sympathised with sex offender Epstein's victims and everyone who "wants some form of closure".
The duke has faced a growing backlash following 蜜芽传媒 Newsnight鈥檚 interview about his friendship with the US financier.
