Queen Elizabeth II has stripped Prince Andrew of his royal patronage and he will no longer be referred to as His Royal Highness after it was confirmed that he will face a civil sex case trial after a US judge dismissed a motion by Andrew’s legal team to have the lawsuit thrown out.

What Are Royal Patronages?
When a member of the Royal Family becomes a patron, they act as a representative or supporter to help publicise the group’s work.
Patrons endorse the organisation’s work and help to affirm that it is high quality and reputable.
Patronages tend to reflect the interests of the family member, such as the Duchess of Cambridge supporting several sports institutions: SportsAid, The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, The Lawn Tennis Association, and The 1851 Trust.
