Prince Andrew drops royal titles

Britain's Prince Andrew says he will no longer use his royal titles after new details came to light about his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move follows what royal watchers say was pressure from King Charles and Prince William on Andrew to step back entirely from royal duties amid further allegations emerging from accuser Virginia Giuffre's upcoming posthumous memoir. Prince Andrew denies the allegations but in a statement, he said "continued accusations" "distract from the work of the royal family".

Prince denies Epstein accuser's allegations

In this week's edition of The Royals Report, Prince Andrew is under pressure after an interview with BBC News in which the prince addressed sexual allegations against him from one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. Virginia Giuffre said she had sex with the prince when she was 17 and that it happened while she was being trafficked by Epstein. Andrew denies Giuffre's allegations. BBC Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond joins CBSN AM from Buckingham Palace to talk about the fallout from the interview.
