King Charles Revokes Prince Andrew's Titles Amid Epstein Scandal

US President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for the British royal family following King Charles III's decision to strip Prince Andrew of his royal titles due to renewed scrutiny over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump described the situation as "terrible" and "tragic," stating he feels badly for the family amid the controversy. The move came after the publication of a memoir by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims, who alleged sexual assault by Andrew; the case was settled out of court, though Andrew denies all allegations. Alongside losing his royal titles, Andrew is also set to lose his honorary military rank of vice admiral. Trump, who has faced his own political scrutiny over alleged links to Epstein, has repeatedly denied involvement and dismissed related claims as a political hoax. The British government, guided by the king, is finalizing the removal of Andrew's remaining titles and has evicted him from his residence on the Windsor estate, marking a significant disciplinary action against a senior royal family member.
