Prince Andrew latest: Ex-prosecutor calls for Met Police to reopen Andrew probe and slams ‘two-tier justice’

Summary: No plans to remove Andrew from the line of succession
Andrew Mountbatten may have lost his Windsor royal titles but there are no plans to disinherit him.
The government said it “fully supported” the Palace’s decision but would not take action to remove Andrew from eighth place on the throne.
The process requires Parliament to pass a resolution to formally remove him from office; this too will be complex and will need to be agreed with all Commonwealth countries, including Australia and Canada.

Andrew ‘will be denied the majority of Royal Lodge compensation due to repairs’
Andrew Mountbatten will lose out on the bulk of his half-million-pound compensation for giving up his lease at Royal Lodge, Windsor, according to reports.
The monarch’s disgraced brother was due to be paid £558,000 from the Crown Estate after agreeing to leave the 30-room mansion amid outrage over his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
But a royal source admitted there was “a lot of work that needs to be done” to the property in Windsor Great Park and that the cost of repairs would likely affect the amount of compensation he receives, The Daily Telegraph reported.
But the former prince will receive a one-off six-figure payment to cover the cost of the move, as well as an annual salary privately funded by the King to prevent him from “overspending in his new life as a commoner”.

Andrew will receive ‘six-figure payout to cover move’
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will receive a six-figure payout and annuity as part of a “relocation deal” after he was forced out of the Royal Lodge, it has been claimed.
Former prince Andrew will receive a one-off payment to cover his move from Windsor to private accommodation in Sandringham, Norfolk, followed by a regular salary to prevent him from “overspending in his new life as a commoner”, The Guardian newspaper reported.
The annuity, privately funded by King Charles, would be worth several times his £20,000-a-year naval pension, the paper adds.

Lawyer asks Andrew to provide information on Epstein’s crimes
Lawmakers in the US have stepped up calls for Andrew to pass information about Epstein’s crimes to the House Oversight Committee; dignitaries say he could even speak to a congressional committee remotely via a video link.
Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who represents some of Epstein’s victims, told BBC News: “We need to hear his story and hear what he says about what happened, but he may also testify about other potential collaborators he saw who might have been at mansions in the US engaging in inappropriate activity.”
“So on both fronts, we want Andrew to come here and testify, both on behalf of other victims and potentially on behalf of himself.”
On the removal of Andrew’s titles, he added: “The victims are delighted that the throne has taken this action, that the King has recognized the seriousness of this situation and that the statement he made the other day has been appreciated by the victims.”
