The family of Virginia Giuffre - who accused Prince Andrew of sexual abusing her when she was a teenager - have welcomed the announcement that he is to stop using his Royal titles. He has faced continuing revelations about his links to the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and said in a statement that the accusations against him were distracting from the King's work. Andrew again stressed that he vigorously denied all the claims against him. Virginia Giuffre took her own life earlier this year, and her memoir is about to be published.
