Prince Andrew has turned down a senior Navy position in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. He has declined the rank of Admiral for the sake of the Queen. He was made vice-admiral on his 55th birthday. The Queen was due to promote her second son, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot with the Royal Navy in the Falklands, so his rank is in line with currently-serving peers. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: 'By convention, The Duke of York would be in line for military promotion on his 60th birthday. 'Following the decision by His Royal Highness to step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, The Duke of York has asked the Ministry of Defence if this promotion might be deferred until such time that His Royal Highness returns to public duty.' |
