And left-wing Labour MP Nadia Whittome said: \u201cIt should be a given that the state removes Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s titles, rather than allowing him to hide behind voluntarily renouncing them and mealy-mouthed statements blaming his accusers.\u201d<\/p>\n
And SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said Ms Giuffre\u2019s life was \u201cdestroyed\u201d by Epstein, telling The Telegraph<\/em>: \u201cI won\u2019t sit silent \u2013 if an act of Parliament is required to strip the likes of Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew of their titles, then there can be no justification from this Labour Government as to why that is not immediately happening.\u201d<\/p>\nBut, asked whether ministers should intervene to ensure Andrew can be stripped of all his titles, Bridget Phillipson said it \u201cisn’t a matter for the government\u201d.<\/p>\n
She told the Today programme<\/em>: \u201cWe would be guided by the royal family in this and I imagine the royal family would want Parliament to continue to dedicate our time to our wider legislative programme, but we will be guided by the monarch.<\/p>\n“It’s why we support the statement that was issued and the action that has been taken. But of course, Prince Andrew holds the title of Prince because he is the son of a monarch, and that’s the situation that we have.”<\/p>\n

How could parliament strip Andrew of his titles? <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n Parliamentary experts have said a process to strip Andrew of his titles could be done relatively quickly by a short piece of legislation. <\/p>\n
A 2022 two-clause bill making the Princess Royal and Prince Edward counsellors of state gained royal assent in around 20 days altogether, with debates in the House of Lords and Commons lasting less than an hour each. <\/p>\n
The precedent for stripping royals of their titles was set by the royal 1917 Titles Deprivation Act, which stripped royal titles from those who supported Germany in the First World War.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
