On Sunday, UK Defence Secretary John Healey announced that the government will revoke the last remaining honorary military titles from Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles III. Earlier on Thursday, the British monarch stripped his younger brother of his royal titles amid growing public backlash over Andrew's (65) association with convicted American financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in his cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. The Defence Secretary told the BBC: "We see Andrew relinquishing the honorary titles he held in the military, and we are now working under the King's direction to remove his last title, that of Vice-Admiral."
