Coming up on the Sky News Daily, from Playboy Prince to Royal Pariah.

He may no longer call himself the Duke of York, but the questions around Prince Andrew's conduct continue to pile up.

If he's capable of sweating, then surely he'll be doing so now.

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the Daily where, look, no surprise.

We're going to be discussing

Prince Andrew yet again. Why? Well, he released a statement late last Friday, in which he said he was

relinquishing his titles, including him being the Duke of York. That alone would be enough to

talk about, but since then it's been alleged that he tried to dig up dirt on Virginia Dufray,

the woman who alleges she was forced to have sex with Andrew, along with his friend Jeffrey Epstein.

The prince vigorously denies all allegations.

We know that Virginia was paid £12 million to settle her civil case in the United States.

She sadly took her life back in April, but this week her memoirs are

being published posthumously, and no doubt there will be fresh detail and accusations. In short,

if the palace thought they had put this one to rest, they were much mistaken. In fact, those

already critical of the monarchy see this as another reason to renew their opposition to the royal family.

Here's Graham Smith from the anti-monarchy group, Republic.

The whole problem here is the royal family have built up this lines of defence, of secrecy, of deference,

of, you know, sort of people getting very upset if you even suggest anything offensive

about them and at the end of the day these are just very ordinary people in a weird situation

which is allow them to think that they can behave with impunity and get away with anything

and it's time that we strip away all the nonsense about titles and royalty and blue blood

and all the rest of the nonsense.
