US President Donald Trump said Sunday he felt \u201cbadly\u201d for the British royal family after King Charles III stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of his remaining royal titles amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel very badly. I mean, it\u2019s a terrible thing that\u2019s happened to the family,\u201d Trump told Agence France-Presse (AFP) aboard Air Force One. \u201cThat\u2019s been a tragic situation, and it\u2019s too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is also set to lose his honorary title of vice-admiral, the final military rank he retains, according to British officials. Defense Minister John Healey told the BBC on Sunday, \u201cGuided again by the king, we are working now to remove that last remaining title of vice-admiral that he has.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrew\u2019s other honorary military titles were removed by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022 after he was sued by Virginia Giuffre, Epstein\u2019s main accuser. Andrew has consistently denied Giuffre\u2019s allegations of sexual abuse, while she claimed in her posthumous memoir that she was trafficked to have sex with him three times, twice as a minor.<\/p>\n
Trump, 79, has faced scrutiny over his own connections to Epstein, the financier who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Authorities ruled Epstein\u2019s death a suicide, though conspiracy theories suggesting foul play continue to circulate, particularly among Trump supporters.<\/p>\n
The US president has repeatedly denied any involvement, calling allegations related to Epstein a \u201choax\u201d orchestrated by political rivals.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s comments also come after his highly publicized state visit to the UK in September, during which he received a lavish state dinner at Windsor Castle, military parades, and a flyover. He has long expressed admiration for the British royal family despite the ongoing controversies surrounding Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n
The stripping of Andrew\u2019s remaining titles marks the latest chapter in a scandal that has significantly tarnished the former prince\u2019s reputation, once celebrated for his service as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
