Duke Of York To Be Demoted Over Ties To Pedophile

Pressure is increasing on Prince Andrew to resign his post as trade ambassador after it was revealed he took £15,000 from a convicted sex offender.

With the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton renewing the public’s positive feelings towards Britain’s monarchy, this is probably the kind of headline the Royal Family is hoping to avoid. It was recently revealed that Andrew arranged last month for long-time friend and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to pay off £15,000 worth of his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson’s debt, and it now appears that incredible lack of judgment will cost him his minor post as Britain’s special representative for trade and development. Government sources said the process to strip him of the position has been initiated, and if further details about his relationship to Epstein come out the Duke may have to cut ties with the government altogether.
