The Queen has “cast Andrew adrift for the sake of the monarchy”, reports the Daily Express.

The Guardian splashes on the Queen seeking to distance herself from Prince Andrew, stripping him of his military and royal roles.

Prince Andrew had his royal and military titles taken away after being summoned to Windsor Castle, reports The Sun.
