Prince Andrew stripped of royal patronages and military affiliations as sex abuse lawsuit moves ahead

Britain's Prince Andrew has been stripped of royal patronages and military affiliations — with the queen's approval — a day after a U.S. district judge rejected his motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre that alleges he sexually abused her when she was 17.

"The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said Thursday.

This dude is toast.

1. I keep wondering if this is in anticipation of something they know is coming out soon.

2. I guess Queen Elizabeth

is not a member of the republican party.

3. He's a disgrace

and he has tarnished his family name and all the good they have done forever. Shame on that bastard. I feel for the queen because if that was my son I would be dying inside.

5. Totally agree

Honestly I've never really cared for him and couldn't understand why he was the queen's favorite. I found him off-putting and now I know why. I wonder if the tabloid press will take a break from the relentless Harry & Meghan bashing and report on this.

4. Andrew possibly has just one friend left:

His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who is repeatedly chirping how he's the "bestest" and more.

7. I bet Dershowitz would have brunch with him.
