Prince Andrew's royal banner removed from Windsor Castle amid scrutiny over Epstein ties.

Prince Andrew’s ceremonial banner has been removed from St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, a rare symbolic gesture typically reserved for high treason, according to reports. The banner, displayed since his 2006 induction into the Order of the Garter, featured his coat of arms including royal emblems and a naval anchor. Its removal, confirmed between Saturday and Wednesday, occurred amid ongoing scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and a 2022 U.S. settlement with Virginia Giuffre, which he denied wrongdoing. No official reason has been given, though the move reflects growing distance from royal institutions.
