Prince Andrew has agreed to give up his use of the Duke of York title, he said in a statement released through Buckingham Palace.

He will also give up use of his honours as a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) and Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, meaning his only remaining title will be that of prince, which cannot be removed as he was born the son of a queen.
