Prince Andrew’s official Twitter now opens with a message saying “This account doesn’t exist”. His YouTube account also comes up with an error message and a picture of a monkey.
The prince’s Instagram and Facebook pages appeared still to be open, though the Instagram was set to private. According to a source close to the prince these accounts have also been removed and are no longer live.
This follows after announcements last week that the prince has ceased using his HRH title and has also given up his honourary military titles bestowed by the Queen. A move that effectively removes him from official royal life.
His accuser, Virginia Giuffre has said that she was forced to have sex when she was 17 after being traded to him by Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted paedophile.
The prince denies the allegations but lost a bid to dismiss the civil suit.
Andrew withdrew from public life as a royal in 2019 after a widely ridiculed BBC interview where he sought to vindicate himself of the accusation that he sexually assaulted a minor.
The decision to strip former Royal Navy helicopter pilot Andrew of his honorary military titles was reportedly made by the Queen and senior members of the royal family.
