Sarah Ferguson has removed her Duchess of York title from social media, days after Buckingham Palace said Prince Andrew will stop using his titles.

In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.

Sarah Ferguson changed her social media handles to reflect the fact that she is no longer Duchess of York, following her ex-husband Prince Andrew's announcement that he was relinquishing his Duke of York title on October 17.

King Charles III's brother said that "the continued accusations about me" were distracting from the work of the royal family.

Prince Andrew has agreed with King Charles to stop using his Duke of York title, as scrutiny over his past connection to Jeffrey Epstein persists.

King Charles III, who reportedly played a key role in Prince Andrew's decision to give up his Duke of York title, holds his nieces, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, in high affection.The
