"Healey told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that ministers were working with the king to remove his naval honours, after the decision last week to strip him of his royal title as prince and remove him from Royal Lodge. Healey said: In general, the government has been guided by the decisions and judgments the king has made. In defence, it's exactly the same."
"This weekend, it emerged Mountbatten Windsor wrote to Epstein in 2010 after the latter was released from jail on charges of soliciting prostitution. Newly released emails show the former prince told Epstein: I have no immediate plans to drop by New York but I think I should at some stage soon. I'll look and see if I can make a couple of days before the summer."
King Charles and ministers are working to remove the former Duke of York's last remaining naval honour, his honorary rank of vice-admiral, following the decision to strip him of his royal title and remove him from Royal Lodge. Defence Secretary John Healey said the government is being guided by the king's decisions and noted that Andrew surrendered other honorary military positions. Healey said the medals were for his service and gave no update on whether they could be removed, saying decisions would be guided by the king. Mountbatten Windsor faces renewed scrutiny over alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, denies accusations, and wrote to Epstein in 2010.
