#PrinceAndrew said Friday he is giving up his #royal title of the Duke of York after his friendship with #JeffreyEpstein returned to headlines.
The brother of #KingCharles III said he & the royal family had decided “the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty & the royal family,” Andrew said.
It comes as excerpts were published of an upcoming posthumous memoir from #VirginiaGiuffre, who was trafficked by #Epstein & had sex with Andrew at 17.

#KingCharles III arrives in Ottawa on Monday to underscore #Canada’s #sovereignty to #Trump.

Trump’s repeated suggestion that the US #annex its northern neighbor prompted Prime Minister #MarkCarney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne that will outline his government’s agenda for the new Parliament. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

"The True North is indeed strong and free," said King Charles in his throne speech at the opening of the Canadian parliament today. This was only the third time in Canada's history a monarch has delivered the address, which is usually given by the governor general. Charles was there at the request of Prime Minister of Mark Carney and referenced Canada's unique identity and a renewal of "national pride, unity and hope" in a speech that underlined the country's sovereignty in the face of U.S. President Trump's "51st state" threats.
