UK Government Considers Halting Security for Prince Andrew Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations
[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Ki-ho] Local media reported on the 17th (local time) that the UK government is considering stopping armed police protection for Prince Andrew, who is involved in a sexual scandal. Prince Andrew is the second son of Queen Elizabeth II.
According to reports, the 'Executive Committee for the Royal Family and VIPs,' a secret agency of the UK government that determines protection targets and levels, has been discussing Prince Andrew's security status. The committee is said to have recently recommended lowering the security level for Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew caused a major uproar in the UK over allegations that he had sexual relations with a teenage girl introduced by Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire who committed child sex crimes. In November last year, he announced that he would take responsibility for the allegations against him and resign from all public offices.
