In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, the Duke said: “It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family’s work.
Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.
“Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required.”
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) announced on Friday it would be cutting ties with the Duke after 15 years.

At a subsequent meeting of the RPO board, it was decided that the orchestra should part company with its patron, with immediate effect.
“The RPO would like to express its gratitude to His Royal Highness for his support of the orchestra over the past 15 years.”
The English National Ballet also reportedly severed ties, accepting Andrew’s resignation from his role as patron.
