Prince Andrew has been dropped by almost 50 organisations amid questions over his links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports. Prince Andrew, who it is alleged had sex with then 17-year-old Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, denies any wrongdoing. But after a disastrous interview with Newsnight in which his association with Epstein was scrutinised, Prince Andrew, 61, announced last year he would step back from his role as a front line royal. Three, the British Science Association, the Council of British International Schools and the Tall Ships Youth Trust, told the Telegraph they had contacted Buckingham Palace hoping to find a new royal patron. Last month, the Duke of York sat next to the Queen at his father's funeral before leaving in his new £220,000 Bentley.
