Palace insiders are reportedly weighing their options to finally deal with Prince Andrew might include stripping him of his Duke of York title.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/> The disgraced royal\u2019s misadventures hit fresh headlines after emails surfaced showing him telling Jeffrey Epstein, \u201cwe are in this together,\u201d months after claiming he had cut contact, The Sun news reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Palace officials are reportedly considering &#8220;all options&#8221; to resolve the ongoing sex abuse scandal surrounding the disgraced royal. Sources indicate that palace chiefs are &#8220;frustrated and exasperated&#8221; and believe it is time to bring the matter to a close.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/> There is hope that Prince Andrew will &#8220;do the decent thing&#8221; and &#8220;fall on his sword&#8221; before the palace is compelled to take action. However, he has been warned that there is only a small &#8220;window of opportunity&#8221; before decisive measures are implemented. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>Potential actions include stripping him of his Duke of York title, removing him from the line of succession, or offering him payment to vacate the Royal Lodge and relocate abroad. Other options involve voluntarily relinquishing his membership of the Order of the Garter and withdrawing from family events. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Behind palace walls, discussions are taking place with the understanding that &#8220;something must be done,&#8221; a royal source stated: \u201cConsidering all options is exactly what is happening. There is a feeling that something must be done.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/> Discussions are taking place. Options are being considered.\u201d <!-- -->This development comes as new excerpts from Virginia Giuffre\u2019s memoir, due for publication on Tuesday, indicate that the sex abuse scandal involving Prince Andrew is ongoing. Momentum to act increased when it was revealed last week that Prince Andrew had lied about severing contact with Epstein.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/> The duke had emailed Epstein 24 hours after a notorious photograph emerged showing him with Virginia Giuffre at Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s Mayfair residence, where Giuffre later alleged they engaged in sexual relations. In the email, he wrote: \u201cI\u2019m just as concerned for you! Don\u2019t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we\u2019ll play some more soon!!!!\u201d <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>He signed the message \u201cHRH Duke of York KG,\u201d with KG standing for Knight of the Order of the Garter. <!-- -->This email contradicted his Newsnight interview in which he stated he had cut off contact with Epstein in December 2010.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/> Consequently, there are fears that further revelations may emerge. Virginia Giuffre has accused Prince Andrew of being \u201centitled\u201d and viewing sexual relations with her as his \u201cbirthright\u201d on three separate occasions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/> The prince has consistently denied any wrongdoing and claims he has never met Giuffre. <!-- -->The late Queen and King have implemented several measures to distance Prince Andrew from the royal family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/> He has been stripped of his royal roles, banned from serving as a working royal, and prohibited from using his HRH title. Despite efforts to encourage the prince to relocate, he remains at Royal Lodge due to his &#8220;cast iron lease&#8221; valid until 2078. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Timeline of Trouble<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"36\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1999:<\/strong> Andrew was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell and invited to Balmoral.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2000:<\/strong> The Duke joined Epstein and Maxwell at Donald Trump\u2019s Florida resort; Epstein was also a guest at Windsor Castle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2001:<\/strong> Virginia Roberts Giuffre, then 17, alleged Epstein trafficked her to London, where she had sex with Andrew at Maxwell\u2019s flat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2005:<\/strong> Florida police launched an investigation into claims that Epstein paid underage girls for sex at his residence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2006:<\/strong> Epstein attended Beatrice\u2019s 18th birthday party shortly after a warrant was issued for his arrest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2008:<\/strong> Epstein admitted to prostituting minors and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2010:<\/strong> Following his release, Andrew remained at his New York home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2011:<\/strong> The Duke resigned as UK trade envoy due to his associations with Epstein.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2015:<\/strong> Giuffre named Andrew in legal documents, though the claims were later removed from US civil court records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2019:<\/strong> Legal papers revealed Johanna Sjoberg claimed Andrew touched her breast at Epstein\u2019s home in 2001.
