Back in 2022, Prince Andrew was stripped of his military affiliations by Queen Elizabeth II, less than a year before her death.
One day after a judge rejected Prince Andrew's attempt to have a sexual assault lawsuit against him thrown out, Buckingham Palace released a statement regarding Andrew's royal status.
"With The Queen's approval and agreement, The Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen," the palace announced on Thursday.
"The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen," the statement continued.
