Prince Andrew was forced to quit royal duties last night after a dramatic intervention by the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
They took decisive action to contain the fall-out from the duke's disastrous TV interview about his friendship with a paedophile billionaire.
The interview triggered days of catastrophic headlines and caused a string of businesses and charities to desert him.
Following lengthy discussions with Charles, who is touring New Zealand, the Queen summoned Andrew to Buckingham Palace and told him to step down.

No. Not her son.
“I have to hand it to the Royals and the British press, their scandals are massively bizarre and entertaining. Our U.S. scandals are puny and boring by comparison.”
Were you asleep during the Clinton years?
So one prince likes to bugger horses, excuse me.... Camila, and the other is a pedophile. Quite a family, indeed.
At this point Prince Phillip is probably drooling in a chair. He is not being seen in public and wasn’t at the Palace on their anniversary
But if Fergie enters the picture to try to rehabilitate Andrew it might shock him into standing up
She’s his bag-woman.
Thou art wicked. We are not amused. :-)
Well, you’ve got me there, the Bent One scandals were highly entertaining. But that was 21 years ago. :0)
Yeah, I can hear the Queen saying something like, “You should be more circumspect, dear, because you could be a head of state someday. You know, like Anne Boleyn.”
“’step down’ from royal life”
I’m not sure what that means exactly, but I think the queen and charles have thrown him under the bus.
They got Capone after the fact on tax evasion.
Takes a real screw-up to flunk at being a Prince.
Long live King Michael!
I was going to say at least he’s kept his head.
Wondering if this is why Ferry is not his wife.
“ No. Not her son.”
That will be news to the Queen.
Does the Queen have the power to strip him of his titles etc.?
We stand corrected
Prince Andrew should be arrested right after Bill Clinton. Period.
