DST News:  Once regarded as Queen Elizabeth II’s most cherished son and celebrated for his charm and military service, Prince Andrew is now remembered primarily as the royal tarnished by accusations of sexual misconduct involving a teenage girl.

At 65, the prince announced on Friday that he would relinquish his title of Duke of York, ending years of public controversy and backlash over his association with the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose criminal activities and eventual downfall cast a long shadow over Andrew’s reputation.
