Prince Andrew stripped of royal patronages and military affiliationsoh it's on now, he's basically a civilian at this point.Britain's Prince Andrew has been stripped of royal patronages and military affiliations — with the queen's approval — a day after a U.S. district judge rejected his motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre that alleges he sexually abused her when she was 17.I would have to say that if they thought he could beat this they wouldn't have taken this step to distance themselves but then you never know with money and power being freely distributed to random judges and the like.All of his roles have been handed back to Queen Elizabeth and will be redistributed to other members of the royal family, according to a royal source. He also will no longer be using "His Royal Highness" in any official capacities.
