ALMOST three quarters of Britons think Prince Andrew should be stripped of his Duke of York title, a new poll reveals.
The Queen has already ensured her second son has lost his military titles and the use of His Royal Highness as he faces US civil action over sexual assault allegations – claims he has consistently denied.
But now a Sunday Express poll has found 72 per cent think the Prince should lose the title of Duke of York, with just 13 per cent saying he should keep it and 15 per cent undecided.
And in a further blow, 76 per cent said he should also lose his place as ninth in the line of succession to the throne, with 11 per cent saying he should not and 13 per cent undecided. The poll was carried out by Redfield and Wilton Strategies for this paper.
It came as veteran broadcaster Andrew Marr yesterday predicted an “ethical earthquake” when the Queen dies.
In his first interview since leaving the BBC last month, after more than two decades at the corporation, he said some members of the Royal Family have been “behaving like free riders” in assuming the institution of the monarchy “can never be questioned”.
Mr Marr added that he expected the Prince of Wales and his son the Duke of Cambridge to “orchestrate a clear-out” when in charge – with the aim of maintaining the support of the public.
The devastating poll result for Prince Andrew, 61, follows reports that he faces losing his round-the-clock police protection as early as next month after being stood down as a frontline royal by Her Majesty.
