She argued a simple, single clause would give a monarch the powers to do this for any titles, including peerages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Flynn said there was &#8220;no justification&#8221; for the UK government not to take action to remove Andrew&#8217;s titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The family of Virginia Giuffre, whose life was destroyed, are angry and aghast,&#8221; he said, adding: &#8220;The public across these isles are angry and aghast and they both deserve to know that some MPs share their outrage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Henry Zeffman, the BBC&#8217;s chief political correspondent, said it was &#8220;extremely unlikely&#8221; that the government would take the lead on this matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It may well be that developments require further action against Andrew but if they do, I think it would be the monarchy making that judgment call and the government following suit, rather than the other way around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson agreed, telling the Today programme these are &#8220;matters for the Royal Family&#8221; rather than for government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The government, by long-standing convention, does not concern itself in matters concerning the Royal Family,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The new book, written by Ms Giuffre and ghostwriter Amy Wallace, puts the prince under even more scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the memoir, Ms Giuffre says she first met Prince Andrew in March 2001.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She writes that Maxwell woke her up and told her it was going to be a &#8220;special day&#8221; and that &#8220;just like Cinderella&#8221; she was going to meet a &#8220;handsome prince&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She says that when she met Prince Andrew later that day, Maxwell told him to guess her age.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The prince, who was then 41, &#8220;guessed correctly: seventeen&#8221;, Ms Giuffre said. &#8220;My daughters are just a little younger than you,&#8221; she recalls him saying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-10wcwg8-ComponentWrapper-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\" data-component=\"image-block\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-12gl1u2-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\"><span class=\"ssrcss-1n0jdgk-Placeholder etlorgc0\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/240\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png.webp 240w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/320\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png.webp 320w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/480\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/624\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png.webp 624w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/800\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png.webp 800w\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ssrcss-11yxrdo-Image edrdn950\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/801\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/240\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png 240w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/320\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png 320w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/480\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png 480w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/624\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png 624w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/800\/cpsprodpb\/1f09\/live\/54e99000-ad05-11f0-ba75-093eca1ac29b.png 800w\" alt=\"Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew in a photo reportedly taken in London in 2001 - he has his hand around her waist and both are smiling at the camera.

He died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said it was &#8220;actively&#8221; looking into media reports that\u00a0<a class=\"ssrcss-f6h2dj-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c3970mxwz9vo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Andrew tried to obtain personal information about Ms Giuffre<\/a>\u00a0through his police protection officer (PPO).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">According to the Mail on Sunday, the prince asked the officer to investigate Ms Giuffre just before the newspaper published a photo in February 2011 of her first meeting with the prince.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The newspaper alleged that he gave the officer her date of birth and confidential social security number.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dai Davies, the former head of royal protection at Scotland Yard, told BBC One&#8217;s Breakfast the issue was &#8220;scandalous&#8221; adding: &#8220;It needs to be put to bed one way or another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;If &#8211; and I say if &#8211; there&#8217;s any evidence of criminality either under the data protection act or malfeasance in public office, then that has to be carefully considered, and then a report sent to the Crown Prosecution [Service],&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;And clearly the government themselves then would have to act, in terms of his status still as a prince.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A royal source told the BBC there are currently no plans for the removal of the prince title that Andrew was born with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The headlines are taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room,&#8221; they added, referring to press about Prince Andrew diverting attention away from King Charles&#8217;s engagements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In 2019, the prince repeatedly\u00a0<a class=\"ssrcss-f6h2dj-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-50446065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told BBC Newsnight that he did not remember meeting Ms Giuffre &#8220;at all&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0and that they &#8220;never had any sort of sexual contact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Buckingham Palace has not commented.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c1e3leqx89zo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Virginia Giuffre says she feared she might &#8220;die a sex slave&#8221; at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle, her posthumous memoir reveals.
