Prince Andrew’s decision to give up his titles does not seem to have the desired effect with the public.
Former royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner was the expert who highlighted the point, amid a series of calls for more sanctions, as well as local politicians taking steps for Parliament to act.
He wrote everything down in detail, during a conversation with Fox News Digital.
This conversation saw him explain first and foremost: “There is a rule in royal circles if a disruptive event lasts longer than seven days, additional measures must be taken to quell the negativity attached to it. »
That’s why, while “no doubt members of the royal family were hoping that Andrew voluntarily stripping his titles would be punishment enough,” Mr. Turner added, “but more and more people are flocking to politicians seeking a legal solution to title strippings.”
Especially with “the Metropolitan Police investigating claims she tried to use her security staff to establish possible scandals linked to Guiffre and whether living in luxury in the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor should still be allowed.” »
For those unaware of Prince Andrew’s decision, he announced his decision to relinquish his titles in an official statement from Buckingham Palace.
According to this document, the prince not only reaffirmed his decision not to return to royal life, but also defended his innocence.
The statement read: “In discussions with the King and my immediate and extended family, we concluded that the continued accusations against me were distracting from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to prioritize my duty to my family and my country. I stand by my decision of five years ago to retire from public life.”
“With Her Majesty’s agreement, we believe that I must now go further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honors conferred on me. As I have previously said, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
Regarding the calls made to Parliament yesterday The guardian reported that the SNP’s Westminster leader, Stephen Flynn, believes that “if the Westminster parties remain stubbornly slow to remove Prince Andrew’s titles, the SNP will do everything it can to force them to act.” »
“Prince Andrew’s titles can only be removed by an Act of Parliament. Therefore, this SNP motion is a way of putting pressure on the UK Labor Government to bring forward this legislation immediately.”
“The only real question is what Keir Starmer’s government expects. The public knows it is the right thing to do, and more importantly, the victims at the heart of the Epstein scandal know it is the right thing to do. It must be done without any further excuses or further delays.”
