Prince Andrew of the UK will face dire consequences for the allegations that he sexually assaulted trafficked girls procured by Jeffrey Epstein.

And by dire, I mean, not use a fancy noble title that means diddly squat in the modern world.

Prince Andrew is no longer Duke of York or any sort of royalty because of his ties to the New York financier.

From the prince:

Andrew has not been in the British royal family's good graces since a disastrous 2019 interview with the BBC where he addressed his friendship with Epstein (and got really sweaty in the process). Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Andrew of raping her as a teen, committed suicide in April this year.

Prince Andrew, Virginia Giuffre, and Epstein's right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell.

In May, the story was brought back into the limelight with a report from American guerilla journalist James O'Keefe, who got undercover video from a royal family advisor.

James O'Keefe is taking credit for Friday's development.

Andrew continues to deny any wrongdoing.
