London | The Duke of York was stripped of all military titles and patronages by the Queen and agreed no longer to use the moniker “His Royal Highness”, in an attempt to protect the royal family from the fallout of his sexual abuse case.
The announcement was made after the Duke, 61, was summoned to Windsor Castle for a 45-minute meeting with his mother, amid increasing speculation he would have to pay off his accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
