Prince Andrew? Duke of York? Did he make the tea? Military and 'royal highness' titles dropped.
Sorry, can't remember him. I'm sure it was All A Long Time Ago, anyway.
The Duke of York's military titles and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Prince Andrew will also stop using the style His Royal Highness in an official capacity, a royal source added.
The duke's roles will be distributed among members of the Royal Family.
It comes as he faces a civil case in the US over claims he sexually assaulted a woman when she was 17, which he has consistently denied.
