Andrew ‘refused to sign off’ on statements supporting victims, reports say<\/h3>\n\nAndrew Mountbatten Windsor routinely \u201crefused\u201d to give his approval to statements acknowledging the victims of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s crimes – effectively blocking the Palace from making such a declaration, new reports say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nA source close to the King and Queen told The Times<\/em> all communication had required Andrew\u2019s sign-off, and that the former duke refused to approve messages until references to victims were removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nIn his latest statement, King Charles took the unprecedented step of recognising the victims of Epstein\u2019s abuse, writing: \u201cTheir Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe government said it “fully supports” the Palace’s decision, but would not move to take Andrew out of his eighth place in line for the throne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe process would require an act of Parliament to formally remove him which would be complex and would need to be agreed with all the Commonwealth realms, including Australia and Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe monarch\u2019s disgraced brother was due a payout of \u00a3558,000 from the Crown Estate after agreeing to quit the 30-room mansion amid the furore over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nBut a royal source admitted there is \u201ca lot of work that needs doing\u201d to the property in Windsor Great Park, and the cost of repairs is likely to affect the amount of compensation he receives, The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe former prince will, however, receive a one-off, six figure payment to cover his move, plus an annual stipend privately funded by the King to prevent him from \u201coverspending in his new life as a commoner\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
