Dampier said. &#8220;It\u2019s a very sad downfall for someone who returned from the Falklands War a hero and the fact he has fallen so low is a Greek tragedy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-7jLqap8jYLpjst38rNd6Uj\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-7jLqap8jYLpjst38rNd6Uj slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get exclusive access to fashion and beauty trends, hot-off-the-press celebrity news, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Andrew announced the decision on Friday, in a statement that read:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first.
