Prince Andrew
Prince Andrew could retain the rank of Colonel of the Grenadier Guard despite the unlikely prospect of his return to government duties. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain made a request, reports The Times.
“The Queen made it clear to the regiment that she wanted the Duke of York to remain a colonel. One gets the feeling that no one wants to do anything that could upset the chief colonel, ”a high-ranking military source told the publication. The Chief Colonel of the Grenadier Army is Elizabeth II.
The source also noted that the current situation is very difficult and unsatisfactory.
Earlier, the American human rights activist Viginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit against the British Prince Andrew, accusing him of rape. According to the woman, in 2001, when she was 17 years old, the Duke of York, who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein, was among several men with whom she was forced to have sex. According to the British media, the son of Elizabeth II ignored the claim of the plaintiff and did not cooperate with the investigation in this case.
