Fresh blow for Prince Andrew as his beloved Golf Foundation cuts ties amid Epstein scandal
Scandal-hit Prince Andrew faced a fresh blow as his beloved Golf Foundation cut ties with him following the fallout from his car crash Newsnight interview.
The Duke of York was forced to step down from royal duties following his disastrous interview – with charities and businesses dumping him as their patron in the fallout.

In a statement it said: “The Board of Trustees of the Golf Foundation has taken the decision to end its association with HRH The Duke of York as Patron of the charity.”

Staff could been seen carefully adding red and gold baubles to the impressive trees, before hanging miniature crowns and silver-gilt pieces from the Grand Service.

Nicola Sturgeon questions long term future of the monarchy after Prince Andrew scandal
Scotlands First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has questioned the future of the Royal Family in the wake of the Prince Andrew sex scandal.
In an interview on ITV News At Ten on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon said a debate about the monarchy should not be a distraction from Epstein’s victims.
However, when asked if the issue made her consider whether the monarchy is fit for purpose, she replied: “I think there is a debate to be had about the longer term future of the monarchy, one of the things though in the context of Prince Andrew that I feel very strongly about is that a debate about the monarchy shouldn’t be a distraction from Epstein’s victims and how they now get whatever justice they can get and get the truth and the ability to move on.
“And I think while, yes, there is a debate to be had about the former, I don’t think it should become conflated with that or be used in any way to sort of take attention from that.”
