Prince Andrew's official website is now taken down. Anyone who will try to visit the Duke of York's site will be automatically redirected to the main royal.uk page.
On the Royal Family's website, the 60-year-old royal's page remains, sharing the information about his exit. The "About" section details Prince Andrew's announcement about his decision to step back from his public duties until the foreseeable future.
It also shows His Royal Highness' official statement about his former association with Jeffrey Epstein. His Twitter and Instagram accounts remain in place, although it seems to be inactive as his last post was dated November 2019.
Since stepping down, Queen Elizabeth II's son has been keeping a low-profile, Hello! Magazine noted. He broke his silence when he responded to the claims that he denied cooperating with the United States Department of Justice's investigation into the criminal sex offender's case.
Blackfords, Prince Andrew's legal team, released a statement that said their client offered his assistance to the DOJ three times this year. It also stated that the authorities first asked for his help on January 2.
Earlier this month, Epstein's alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, was arrested for allegedly being Epstein's accomplice. This brought Prince Andrew to the forefront again over his friendship with the British socialite and link to the disgraced financier.
For the first time after Maxwell's arrest, Prince Andrew was seen out and about, looking quite relaxed and happy after Robert Maxwell's daughter's bail was denied. The judge ruled that she must remain in jail for at least a year until her trial on sex trafficking charges, Daily Mail noted.
Sarah Ferguson's former husband was seen laughing with his bodyguard by his side while driving his car out of the Windsor Castle gates. He had been staying and keeping his profile low, avoiding the spotlight, at his lodge on the grounds of his mother's estate.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, US Attorney General Bill Barr revealed his prosecutors wanted to speak to Prince Andrew about his connection with Epstein and Maxwell. The government official said the prince should talk to the FBI, and his team also wanted to have an interview with him.
He revealed the Southern District had been making great efforts to communicate with the duke. Barr even insisted that they already made it clear that they liked to speak to him.
A source, allegedly, close to Prince Andrew told Daily Mail that he was "bewildered" by the claims that he wasn't cooperating with the U.S. authorities. His team even, reportedly, tried to reach the prosecutors a number of times.
