An Instagram post posted on behalf of Prince Andrew was deleted after referring to him as “HRH”. The Duke of York shared his memories of the Falklands War on his ex-wife’s account to mark the 40th anniversary of the war – including the incident that he says left him unable to sweat. A 700-word message – a rare public statement from the marginalized royal family – split into three posts on Sarah Ferguson’s account and was removed after about two hours. Under the last post, he said that “it was written by HRH The Duke of York” before “HRH” was deleted. Andrew was ordered to stop using the “royal highness” style during the aftermath of the US political sex affair. The 62-year-old royal – who flew on missions as a helicopter pilot during the crash – appeared to be referring to a notorious incident that he allegedly left him unable to sweat. In a 2019 interview with Newsnight, he referred to the close phone call in an attempt to refute his accuser’s account that he danced and sweated a lot on the night of an alleged attack. Virginia Giuffre claims she was sexually assaulted when she was 17 and trafficked by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Recounting the war, Andrew wrote: “So while I think about a day when a young man went to war, full of audacity, I returned a changed man. “I gave up childish things and a fake thumbs up and returned a man full of knowledge of human weakness and suffering.” Recalling the shooting, he wrote: “I was flying and saw a shell from one of our ships that passed not so far in front of us. “It simply came to our notice then. “The horror that this was going to happen, for a moment, had a lasting and lasting effect on me.” Prince Andrew stripped of his honorary military titles as a result of allegations of sexual assault against him (Image: EPA) The queen removed her son from his military ranks amid public scrutiny and several months after resigning from the front line royal duties. Andrew has maintained a very low profile in recent years, but has been seen helping his mother sit in her seat during a memorial service for Prince Philip this week. Andrew and his family have been named in a Supreme Court case involving a Turkish banker and a millionaire that has come to light in recent days. A judge overseeing the dispute was informed that the Duke of York had allegedly been paid .000 750,000. The millionaire claims that he was deceived by the banker to believe that he was for “help” in connection with a passport application. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by the Duke, who is said to have returned the money.
