against him in relation to Epstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">But the prince, who strenuously denies the allegations, was instead swamped by criticism focused on the property he has lived in effectively rent-free since 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">In a statement, Ms Giuffre&#8217;s family said it was the &#8220;truth and extraordinary courage&#8221; of an &#8220;ordinary American girl&#8221; which &#8220;brought down a British prince&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">It continued: \u201cVirginia Roberts Guiffre &#8211; our sister &#8211; a child when she was sexually assaulted by Andrew &#8211; never stopped fighting for accountability for what had happened to her and to countless other survivors like her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cToday, she declares a victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cWe, her family, along with her survivor sisters, continue Virginia\u2019s battle and will not rest until the same accountability applies to all of her abusers and abetters connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Announcing the removal of Andrew&#8217;s title, Buckingham Palace added that the King&#8217;s &#8220;thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Andrew&#8217;s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will also move out of the Royal Lodge and will sort her own living arrangements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">There have been reports that William wanted his uncle\u2019s situation resolved quickly and for him to vacate Royal Lodge by Bonfire Night &#8211; 5 November &#8211; as the Prince is due to move his young family to their forever home at Forest Lodge, near Andrew\u2019s home, in the coming days. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"A8Lwr mes-O\"><figcaption class=\"Ya3u6 SilLI\" data-testid=\"captioned-picture-caption\">Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.<span class=\"mjYl8\"> Credit: <!-- -->ITV News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">This all comes a day after Parliament\u2019s spending watchdog raised concerns over the value for money of Andrew\u2019s living arrangements after he stepped down as a working member of the Royal family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) wrote to the Treasury and the Crown Estate on Wednesday, asking them to explain the rationale behind the lease on the 30-room mansion by November 28.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Meanwhile, US Democratic Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, who has previously called for Andrew to testify before a Congressional committee about his links to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to &#8220;clear his name,&#8221; has renewed calls for him to give evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cIt\u2019s clear that Prince Andrew has information about Epstein\u2019s crimes and he must do more than just give up titles or hide from the public spotlight,&#8221; he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cHe owes it to the victims to share everything he knows about Epstein\u2019s criminal operation and come before the Oversight Committee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"A8Lwr mes-O\"><figcaption class=\"Ya3u6 SilLI\" data-testid=\"captioned-picture-caption\">The photograph taken in 2010 of Andrew and Epstein in Central Park, New York. <span class=\"mjYl8\"> Credit: <!-- -->PA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">The King has long been said to have tried to encourage his younger brother, who lived in the home with his ex-wife, Ferguson, to move out, but Andrew signed a watertight 75-year lease on the property in 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">His leasehold agreement revealed he paid \u00a31 million for the lease and that since then he paid \u201cone peppercorn\u201d of rent &#8220;if demanded&#8221; a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">He was also required to pay a further \u00a37.5 million for refurbishments completed in 2005, according to a report by the National Audit Office.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\"><strong class=\"_1ATDh\">This is the Talking Royals &#8211;
