LONDON: Prince Andrew of Britain on Friday renounced his title of Duke of York and other honors after being increasingly embroiled in scandals around his ties to US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I will... no longer use my title or the honors which have been conferred upon me,” Andrew, 65, said in a statement. He said his decision came after discussions with his brother, King Charles III, and his own “immediate and wider family.” “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first,” he said.
