Prince Andrew has been keeping a low profile since striking an out-of-court settlement with his sexual assault accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Queen Elizabeth II’s second son was stripped of his patronages and HRH title amid the fallout from his ties with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, while vehemently denying all allegations against him.
An overwhelming majority of Britons would prefer to have Prince Andrew "kicked out" of Windsor Castle and stripped of all of his royal privileges, a recent poll has revealed.
The new survey for the Express posed this specific question to several thousand Britons, with about 13,600, or 85% of respondents, voting "yes".
According to the outlet, 11 percent (1,536 people) said “no”, while three percent (472 people) said they did not know.

The disgraced Duke of York was earlier stripped of his patronages and HRH title and forced to step away from public royal life after being accused of sexual abuse by an alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim. The royal struck an out-of-court multi-million settlement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre in February, while denying all the accusations leveled against him.
However, since then Prince Andrew has failed to win back his place in the royal fold.
The royal was banned from the Order of the Garter ceremony on June 13 after Charles, Prince of Wales, and Prince William lobbied the Queen, The Sun cited sources as saying earlier.

According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, after Prince Charles, the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, takes over as monarch, she would be “very surprised” if Prince Andrew was allowed to stay in Windsor.
“He will be financially secure but I will be very surprised if he keeps the Royal Lodge,” she was cited as saying.
Royal correspondent Richard Palmer was also cited as saying:
“I've spoken to people in the royal circles… you know, they say he is delusional about the public's reaction to him.”
