Prince Andrew (pictured during his interview with Emily Maitlis on the BBC’s Newsnight) is facing a furious backlash over his relationship with Epstein<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Insurance giant Aon asked for its name be removed from the scheme’s website and drugs maker AstraZeneca said it was reviewing its relationship. <\/p>\n
Children’s charities and schools linked to Prince Andrew are also in disarray today as they distanced themselves from the under-fire royal.<\/p>\n
As Andrew found himself out in the cold after his BBC interview disaster, it has emerged:<\/p>\n
\n- Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged trafficking victim Virginia Roberts pictured by MailOnline in Australia as it is reveals she filmed an interview with the BBC three weeks ago;<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
- Standard Chartered and KPMG pull the plug on sponsorship of the Duke’s Dragons’ Den-style start up scheme – while Aon and AstraZeneca also reviewing relationship;<\/span><\/li>\n
- Children’s charities and education organisations also distance themselves from their patron;<\/span><\/li>\n
- Epstein accuser says the financier used Prince Andrew as BAIT to get her to his private island when she was 15;<\/span><\/li>\n
- Growing calls from politicians for ‘disgraceful’ Prince Andrew to fly to the US to face FBI investigators and give evidence as his role in public life looks increasingly precarious; <\/span><\/li>\n
- Students at the University of Huddersfield are lobbying Andrew to resign as chancellor;<\/span> <\/li>\n
- A poll found that just 6 per cent of the public believe his explanation for his relationship with Epstein;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A string of major companies and charities are also examining their links with Andrew after his extraordinary TV interview on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Children North East and The Children’s Foundation, both charities Andrew lists on his official website, refused to tell MailOnline if he will keep his official role supporting them in light of the Epstein scandal.<\/p>\n
The Council of British International Schools [COBIS] praised the duke’s work with them since 2011 but also refused to say if their link with the prince remains today. <\/p>\n
Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave Virginia Roberts has filmed a BBC interview she will use to shatter Prince Andrew’s denials they ever had sex when she was 17 as the royal’s woes got worse today.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old, who calls the Duke of York her ‘abuser’, spoke to Panorama before he spoke publicly for the first time to say they never met or had sex – even suggesting the world-famous picture of them together in London in 2001 could have been faked.<\/p>\n
A source close to Ms Roberts says she ‘made no bones about her thoughts on the Duke’s denial’ during her sit-down with Panorama, in which she is said to demand he ‘comes clean’.<\/p>\n
But she is said to be irate that her own interview has not been shown amid suggestions it was held back to ensure Andrew’s sit-down with Emily Maitlis wasn’t jeopardised – but BBC insiders claim it will form a wider Epstein investigation that is not yet ready to broadcast.<\/p>\n
US-born Ms Roberts, who now uses her married surname Giuffre, spoke to Panorama in the US three weeks ago – but may have to be interviewed again to respond to the duke’s bizarre alibis including being in Pizza Express on the night she claims they had sex in London. <\/p>\n
Andrew also denied he allegations he ‘sweated profusely’ during intercourse by claiming he couldn’t perspire for more than 20 years after an adrenaline-rush while being shot at in the Falklands War. <\/p>\n

\nPrince who doesn’t like to ‘party’ <\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Photos](\"http:\/\/wardoon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/the-toxic-duke-standard-chartered-is-latest-big-name-firm-to-cut-ties-with-prince-andrew-9.jpg\")

Photos show Prince Andrew enjoying the attentions of several women. In this photo, taken on the French Riviera in July 2007 the Prince looks wild-eyed as he parties with American socialite Chris Von Aspen, who licks him<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In his BBC interview, Prince Andrew claimed he had \u2018never really partied\u2019 \u2013 and is averse to public displays of affection \u2013 as he rebutted allegations he had sex with Virginia Roberts.<\/p>\n
But a number of images have resurfaced, showing him letting his hair down at wild parties and frolicking with several glamorous young women. On BBC\u2019s Newsnight special, the Duke of York insisted that he had no idea why he had been dubbed the \u2018party prince\u2019.<\/p>\n
He said: \u2018I don\u2019t know why I\u2019ve collected that title because I don\u2019t \u2026 I never have really partied.\u2019 He added: \u2018I was single for quite a long time in the early 80s but after I got married I was very happy and I\u2019ve never really felt the need to go and party and certainly going to Jeffrey [Epstein]\u2019s was not about partying, absolutely not.\u2019<\/p>\n
He also hinted that the controversial 2001 photograph of him holding 17-year-old Miss Roberts around the waist might be fake as he was not \u2018one to hug\u2019. He said: \u2018I\u2019m terribly sorry but if I, as a member of the Royal Family, and I have a photograph taken and I take very, very few photographs, I am not one to, as it were, hug and public displays of affection are not something that I do.\u2019<\/p>\n
But footage and snaps of the dishevelled prince at parties, some without his suit jacket and with his shirt untucked, would suggest otherwise.<\/p>\n
The duke can be seen at several soirees in the late 2000s on the French Riviera partying with women. He was pictured in July 2007 at a party in Saint-Tropez embracing a number of women including socialite Chris Von Aspen, who he holds by the waist. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Andrew appeared on BBC Newsnight to answer questions about his relationship with Epstein, a paedophile billionaire who killed himself in jail.<\/p>\n
The interview went down spectacularly badly however and the backlash grew yesterday when an Epstein victim went public at a dramatic press conference. She said the financier had tried to lure her to his private island by saying Andrew was there.<\/p>\n
Her lawyer joined the international clamour for Andrew to face the US authorities and tell them everything he knows.<\/p>\n
Sources today said the Royal Family has been left reeling by the fallout from the BBC interview and the renewed criticism from Epstein’s victims.<\/p>\n
While insiders were keen not to be seen to be criticising Andrew, it was clear that his wider family were ‘aghast’ at the interview and the subsequent reaction. ‘People are shaking their heads and wondering where to go from here,’ said one.<\/p>\n
Another former royal aide has called for the prince to ‘take a sabbatical’ before irreversible damage is done to the charities and organisations he works with.<\/p>\n
Questions remain as to how much the Queen knew and whether she sanctioned the interview. Palace officials repeated their line that she had been ‘aware’ of the interview but refused to be drawn on whether she had approved it.<\/p>\n
On a disastrous day for the eighth in line to the throne pressure centred on the charity that he sees as a lifeline to repairing his public reputation.<\/p>\n
During Saturday’s ‘make or break’ appearance on BBC’s Newsnight, Andrew flagged Pitch@Palace \u2013 a Dragons’ Den-style scheme for entrepreneurs \u2013 as a vital way of reconnecting with the public following the scandal. <\/p>\n
A royal aide yesterday described it as one of the few ‘real success stories’ of his life. But KPMG, one of Britain’s leading accountancy firms, revealed it had cut ties with the duke. The firm was a founding partner and had paid up to \u00a3100,000 a year in sponsorship since 2014.<\/p>\n
KPMG bosses decided to end the relationship last month due to ‘unsavoury’ issues stemming from the duke’s friendship with Epstein. The decision was taken by the firm after consultation with its ‘risk committee’ that considers reputational issues.<\/p>\n

Two correctional officers responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he took his own life are expected to face criminal charges this week for falsifying prison records.<\/p>\n
The federal charges could come as soon as Tuesday and are the first in connection with Epstein\u00b4s death, sources told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n
The wealthy financier, 66, died on August 10 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls.<\/p>\n
The officers on Epstein’s unit at the federal jail in New York City are suspected of failing to check on him every half-hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to claim they had. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Astrazeneca, which is a ‘strategic partner’, said it was reviewing its three-year relationship which is due to end next month.<\/p>\n
Aon was listed as the initiative’s sole ‘global partner’ but sources insisted the company was not associated with Pitch@Palace and the listing was an error. <\/p>\n
It is understood that several firms were prompted to review their relationship with Andrew after he was again accused of having sex with a teenage victim of the billionaire financier earlier this year. He vehemently denies the claims.<\/p>\n
A web page advertising Pitch@Palace’s sponsors was removed from the internet yesterday afternoon. The project has helped 931 businesses, created 5,982 jobs and generated \u00a31.105billion of economic activity, according to Andrew’s team.<\/p>\n
The Daily Mail yesterday contacted many other multinational companies linked to the scheme, including the bank Standard Chartered and Air Asia. <\/p>\n
But none gave their backing to the duke and instead refused to comment on their links. A KPMG spokesman refused to comment last night.<\/p>\n
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘KPMG’s contract with Pitch@Palace ended at the end of October. A full programme of Pitch@Palace events is continuing across the United Kingdom.’<\/p>\n

‘Prince Andrew is NOT the sort of role model we want’: Huddersfield student launches #NotmyChancellor campaign to oust Duke from honorary role after university bosses stood by him<\/h2>\n
Students at Huddersfield University have launched a campaign for Prince Andrew to resign as chancellor, saying he is ‘not the sort of role model students should have’. <\/p>\n
The student union voted last night to campaign for the Duke of York to stand down as the ceremonial head following the fallout from his disastrous BBC<\/a> interview.<\/p>\nBut the university has backed Andrew, with a spokesman saying his ‘enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship is a natural fit with the work of the university’. <\/p>\n
A motion was put forward by student Tristan Smith, with others backing the suggestion move on social media with the hashtag #NotMyChancellor.<\/p>\n
\n\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/wardoon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/the-toxic-duke-standard-chartered-is-latest-big-name-firm-to-cut-ties-with-prince-andrew-13.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Duke of York speaks at his installation as chancellor of Huddersfield University in July 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The English literature student told the Independent: ‘I don’t think this man should be a chancellor and a role model. I want to be proud to go here.<\/p>\n
\nJust 16 PER CENT of people believe Andrew <\/h3>\n\nJust 16 per cent of Brits believe Prince Andrew was telling the truth during his disastrous BBC interview.<\/p>\n
A survey by OnePoll reveals just how badly the broadcast has gone down with the general public.<\/p>\n
Only 16 per cent believe his claim that he has no recollection of meeting Virginia Giuffre, then 17, whom he is alleged to have had sex with.<\/p>\n
The same figure believe his \u2018alibi\u2019 that he was at Pizza Express in Woking when Giuffre – then Virginia Roberts – alleged the incident took place.<\/p>\n
Just 17 per cent believe his claim that he cannot sweat due to a medical condition picked up during the Falklands War.<\/p>\n
More than half (54 per cent) think his decision to do the interview had damaged the Royal Family\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n
And almost two thirds (63 per cent) said they thought Prince Andrew had done victims of sexual abuse \u201ca disservice\u201d by describing Epstein\u2019s offending as \u201cunbecoming\u201d.<\/p>\n
Last night, in a press conference in Los Angeles, another victim of Epstein urged Prince Andrew to share information on his former friend, who was found hanged in a US jail in August.<\/p>\n
More than half (58 per cent) of the 1,000 UK adults surveyed by OnePoll think Andrew should now volunteer himself to the FBI to be questioned as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n
The poll also revealed 63 per cent said they felt sorry for the Queen after the 93-year-old following her son\u2019s relationship with the convicted sex offender and his Newsnight interview.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
‘A lot of people agree with me and I had a staff member say to me that they were really pleased that I had put it forward. I don’t think his actions represent us.’<\/p>\n
Speaking to the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme, the student added: ‘I think that the behaviour that we’ve seen, disregarding the allegations even, the fact that we know he continued the friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after the conviction, and even stayed at his house of his own admission \u2013 he admitted to that in the interview – I don’t think that’s very good conduct really, I don’t think that should be representative of us.<\/p>\n
‘I think he needs to have taken a stand to show some integrity, and I haven’t seen that yet. It’s not the sort of role model I think students should have, it’s not the sort of person I think should be in that position, essentially of authority and of recognition and respect.<\/p>\n
‘It seems very unreasonable I think that we would value having students going out into the world with integrity, with morals, with upstanding good reputations, and then that not being reflected in our chancellor’s behaviour and his statements, which I found to be very upsetting, and which I did not see much accountability and much sympathy for the victims, regardless of what may or may not have happened.’<\/p>\n
The motion was put forward before Andrew’s interview on the BBC’s Newsnight on Saturday over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
Emmanuel Haruna, president of Huddersfield Student Union, said it was ‘already scheduled to go to a termly student jury’ before the programme was aired.<\/p>\n

She says a picture was taken of her with Andrew (left) in early 2001. The prince denies all knowledge of having met her<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Support for Andrew is ebbing away after his interview with Emily Maitlis, which he is believed to have said was a ‘great success’ – but many disagree<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photos show Prince Andrew enjoying the attentions of several women. In this photo, taken on the French Riviera in July 2007 the Prince looks wild-eyed as he parties with American socialite Chris Von Aspen, who licks him<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In his BBC interview, Prince Andrew claimed he had \u2018never really partied\u2019 \u2013 and is averse to public displays of affection \u2013 as he rebutted allegations he had sex with Virginia Roberts.<\/p>\n But a number of images have resurfaced, showing him letting his hair down at wild parties and frolicking with several glamorous young women. On BBC\u2019s Newsnight special, the Duke of York insisted that he had no idea why he had been dubbed the \u2018party prince\u2019.<\/p>\n He said: \u2018I don\u2019t know why I\u2019ve collected that title because I don\u2019t \u2026 I never have really partied.\u2019 He added: \u2018I was single for quite a long time in the early 80s but after I got married I was very happy and I\u2019ve never really felt the need to go and party and certainly going to Jeffrey [Epstein]\u2019s was not about partying, absolutely not.\u2019<\/p>\n He also hinted that the controversial 2001 photograph of him holding 17-year-old Miss Roberts around the waist might be fake as he was not \u2018one to hug\u2019. He said: \u2018I\u2019m terribly sorry but if I, as a member of the Royal Family, and I have a photograph taken and I take very, very few photographs, I am not one to, as it were, hug and public displays of affection are not something that I do.\u2019<\/p>\n But footage and snaps of the dishevelled prince at parties, some without his suit jacket and with his shirt untucked, would suggest otherwise.<\/p>\n The duke can be seen at several soirees in the late 2000s on the French Riviera partying with women. He was pictured in July 2007 at a party in Saint-Tropez embracing a number of women including socialite Chris Von Aspen, who he holds by the waist. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Andrew appeared on BBC Newsnight to answer questions about his relationship with Epstein, a paedophile billionaire who killed himself in jail.<\/p>\n The interview went down spectacularly badly however and the backlash grew yesterday when an Epstein victim went public at a dramatic press conference. She said the financier had tried to lure her to his private island by saying Andrew was there.<\/p>\n Her lawyer joined the international clamour for Andrew to face the US authorities and tell them everything he knows.<\/p>\n Sources today said the Royal Family has been left reeling by the fallout from the BBC interview and the renewed criticism from Epstein’s victims.<\/p>\n While insiders were keen not to be seen to be criticising Andrew, it was clear that his wider family were ‘aghast’ at the interview and the subsequent reaction. ‘People are shaking their heads and wondering where to go from here,’ said one.<\/p>\n Another former royal aide has called for the prince to ‘take a sabbatical’ before irreversible damage is done to the charities and organisations he works with.<\/p>\n Questions remain as to how much the Queen knew and whether she sanctioned the interview. Palace officials repeated their line that she had been ‘aware’ of the interview but refused to be drawn on whether she had approved it.<\/p>\n On a disastrous day for the eighth in line to the throne pressure centred on the charity that he sees as a lifeline to repairing his public reputation.<\/p>\n During Saturday’s ‘make or break’ appearance on BBC’s Newsnight, Andrew flagged Pitch@Palace \u2013 a Dragons’ Den-style scheme for entrepreneurs \u2013 as a vital way of reconnecting with the public following the scandal. <\/p>\n A royal aide yesterday described it as one of the few ‘real success stories’ of his life. But KPMG, one of Britain’s leading accountancy firms, revealed it had cut ties with the duke. The firm was a founding partner and had paid up to \u00a3100,000 a year in sponsorship since 2014.<\/p>\n KPMG bosses decided to end the relationship last month due to ‘unsavoury’ issues stemming from the duke’s friendship with Epstein. The decision was taken by the firm after consultation with its ‘risk committee’ that considers reputational issues.<\/p>\n The drugs giant Astrazeneca is considering its links to the Duke of York’s Pitch@Palace following his Newsnight interview <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two correctional officers responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he took his own life are expected to face criminal charges this week for falsifying prison records<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two correctional officers responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he took his own life are expected to face criminal charges this week for falsifying prison records.<\/p>\n The federal charges could come as soon as Tuesday and are the first in connection with Epstein\u00b4s death, sources told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n The wealthy financier, 66, died on August 10 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls.<\/p>\n The officers on Epstein’s unit at the federal jail in New York City are suspected of failing to check on him every half-hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to claim they had. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Astrazeneca, which is a ‘strategic partner’, said it was reviewing its three-year relationship which is due to end next month.<\/p>\n Aon was listed as the initiative’s sole ‘global partner’ but sources insisted the company was not associated with Pitch@Palace and the listing was an error. <\/p>\n It is understood that several firms were prompted to review their relationship with Andrew after he was again accused of having sex with a teenage victim of the billionaire financier earlier this year. He vehemently denies the claims.<\/p>\n A web page advertising Pitch@Palace’s sponsors was removed from the internet yesterday afternoon. The project has helped 931 businesses, created 5,982 jobs and generated \u00a31.105billion of economic activity, according to Andrew’s team.<\/p>\n The Daily Mail yesterday contacted many other multinational companies linked to the scheme, including the bank Standard Chartered and Air Asia. <\/p>\n But none gave their backing to the duke and instead refused to comment on their links. A KPMG spokesman refused to comment last night.<\/p>\n A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘KPMG’s contract with Pitch@Palace ended at the end of October. A full programme of Pitch@Palace events is continuing across the United Kingdom.’<\/p>\n KPMG has decided not to renew its sponsorship of Pitch@Palace, which is Prince Andrew’s scheme for start-ups <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League<\/p>\n 21st Doncaster Scout Group<\/p>\n Action on Hearing Loss<\/p>\n Alderney Maritime Trust<\/p>\n The Duke of York, Patron<\/p>\n Army Museums Ogilby Trust<\/p>\n Army Officers’ Golfing Society<\/p>\n Army Rifle Association<\/p>\n Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA)<\/p>\n Attend (National Association of Hospital and Community Friends)<\/p>\n Aycliffe Centre for Young People<\/p>\n Badminton England<\/p>\n Badminton Wales (Welsh Badminton Union)<\/p>\n Baker Dearing Educational Trust<\/p>\n Berkshire County Cricket Club<\/p>\n Bermuda Sloop Foundation<\/p>\n British Deaf Association<\/p>\n British Exploring Society (BSES Expeditions)<\/p>\n British Science Association (formerly British Association for the Advancement of Science)<\/p>\n British-Kazakh Society<\/p>\n Broughton House Home for Ex-Service Personnel<\/p>\n California State Police<\/p>\n The Canadian Canoe Museum<\/p>\n Catalyst Inc<\/p>\n Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence<\/p>\n Children North East<\/p>\n City Gateway<\/p>\n Commonwealth Golfing Society<\/p>\n Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire<\/p>\n Constructionarium<\/p>\n Council of British International Schools (COBIS)<\/p>\n English National Ballet<\/p>\n Faldo Junior Series<\/p>\n Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel Trust<\/p>\n Falklands Conservation<\/p>\n Fight for Sight<\/p>\n Fire Service Sports and Athletics Association<\/p>\n Fly Navy Heritage Trust<\/p>\n Foundation for Liver Research<\/p>\n Friends of Lakefield College School<\/p>\n Friends of the Staffordshire Regiment<\/p>\n GBx<\/p>\n Golf Foundation<\/p>\n Greenwich Hospital<\/p>\n Grenadier Guards<\/p>\n H.M.S.

model students should have’. <\/p>\n The student union voted last night to campaign for the Duke of York to stand down as the ceremonial head following the fallout from his disastrous BBC<\/a> interview.<\/p>\n But the university has backed Andrew, with a spokesman saying his ‘enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship is a natural fit with the work of the university’. <\/p>\n A motion was put forward by student Tristan Smith, with others backing the suggestion move on social media with the hashtag #NotMyChancellor.<\/p>\n The Duke of York speaks at his installation as chancellor of Huddersfield University in July 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The English literature student told the Independent: ‘I don’t think this man should be a chancellor and a role model. I want to be proud to go here.<\/p>\n Just 16 per cent of Brits believe Prince Andrew was telling the truth during his disastrous BBC interview.<\/p>\n A survey by OnePoll reveals just how badly the broadcast has gone down with the general public.<\/p>\n Only 16 per cent believe his claim that he has no recollection of meeting Virginia Giuffre, then 17, whom he is alleged to have had sex with.<\/p>\n The same figure believe his \u2018alibi\u2019 that he was at Pizza Express in Woking when Giuffre – then Virginia Roberts – alleged the incident took place.<\/p>\n Just 17 per cent believe his claim that he cannot sweat due to a medical condition picked up during the Falklands War.<\/p>\n More than half (54 per cent) think his decision to do the interview had damaged the Royal Family\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n And almost two thirds (63 per cent) said they thought Prince Andrew had done victims of sexual abuse \u201ca disservice\u201d by describing Epstein\u2019s offending as \u201cunbecoming\u201d.<\/p>\n Last night, in a press conference in Los Angeles, another victim of Epstein urged Prince Andrew to share information on his former friend, who was found hanged in a US jail in August.<\/p>\n More than half (58 per cent) of the 1,000 UK adults surveyed by OnePoll think Andrew should now volunteer himself to the FBI to be questioned as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n The poll also revealed 63 per cent said they felt sorry for the Queen after the 93-year-old following her son\u2019s relationship with the convicted sex offender and his Newsnight interview.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ‘A lot of people agree with me and I had a staff member say to me that they were really pleased that I had put it forward. I don’t think his actions represent us.’<\/p>\n Speaking to the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme, the student added: ‘I think that the behaviour that we’ve seen, disregarding the allegations even, the fact that we know he continued the friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after the conviction, and even stayed at his house of his own admission \u2013 he admitted to that in the interview – I don’t think that’s very good conduct really, I don’t think that should be representative of us.<\/p>\n ‘I think he needs to have taken a stand to show some integrity, and I haven’t seen that yet. It’s not the sort of role model I think students should have, it’s not the sort of person I think should be in that position, essentially of authority and of recognition and respect.<\/p>\n ‘It seems very unreasonable I think that we would value having students going out into the world with integrity, with morals, with upstanding good reputations, and then that not being reflected in our chancellor’s behaviour and his statements, which I found to be very upsetting, and which I did not see much accountability and much sympathy for the victims, regardless of what may or may not have happened.’<\/p>\n The motion was put forward before Andrew’s interview on the BBC’s Newsnight on Saturday over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n Emmanuel Haruna, president of Huddersfield Student Union, said it was ‘already scheduled to go to a termly student jury’ before the programme was aired.<\/p>\n The student union confirmed shortly before 7pm yesterday that the motion had been passed, and they are expected to release a full statement about it today.<\/p>\n The university itself yesterday refused to criticise Andrew, with a spokesman saying: ‘HRH The Duke of York has long ties with the University stretching back to his first visit in 2001. <\/p>\n ‘He became its Patron in 2013 and was then conferred as Chancellor in 2015.
