Shouldn’t the headline be “Andrew gives up royal titles after ‘discussion with the king'”?

> He will remain a prince – but will cease to be the Duke of York, a title received from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth
Then what is the point? Hasn’t he already stripped of royal stipend?
Anyway I don’t see justice for this guy. Even if he’s stripped of everything, the late Queen already shored up for him with her personal estate, he ain’t going broke any time soon.

These accusations have been going on for years. Does the fact theyre doing it now imply something big might be coming out?
