Video Description

King Charles struggles with further Prince Andrew crises. Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2DHAQOeEg-Z-4trARDXHRA?sub_confirmation=1 In her memoir, released posthumously, Virginia Roberts Giuffre accuses Prince Andrew of multiple crimes. These include sexual abuse, sex with underage girls and malfeasance in public office. Last week Prince Andrew announced he would relinquish his royal titles. But now a growing group of MPs are calling for parliament to actively strip the titles from him. The latest development in this scandal comes as King Charles is about to make an historic visit to the Vatican, where he will pray alongside Pope Leo XIV. This will be the first time a reigning English monarch has prayed publicly with a pope since Henry VIII split with the Catholic Church to create the Church of England. But Charles' historic moment is overshadowed by scandal in his family.
