			In 2020, Prince Andrew gave up all official functions. This is a reaction to continued accusations that he was involved in sexual abuse of minors (associated with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell). In January 2022, all military titles had to be returned to the Queen and he had to give up the title His Royal Highness (HRH).
