The King’s brother stepped down from military and royal duties in 2019 following the controversy around his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
He was stripped of military and royal titles in January 2022 amid his out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who had sued the prince in 2021, saying he sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
