Not a descendant of the King?

Andrew’s mother was Queen Elizabeth, who’s father was King George VI. So how is Andrew not a descendant of the king? 2600:8806:F48:1D00:3041:26B6:3CEE:E22E (talk) 22:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Language describing rape allegations

The fifth paragraph of the "Allegations of sexual abuse" section begins "Giuffre asserted that she had sex with Andrew on three occasions, including a trip to London in 2001 when she was 17." Near the end says "Giuffre stated that she [...] 'wouldn't have dared object.'" If she wouldn't have dared object, why does this say "had sex with" instead of "was raped by." Even assuming the other two instances were after she was of age, this is an allegation of rape, not consensual sex. Is the reasoning that she hasn't been publicly quoted as describing it as rape? The title of the section is "Allegations of sexual abuse" so it could at least say "was sexually abused by." The phrasing, to me, feels like it is not properly representing the weight of this allegation. AwesomelyToad (talk) 23:30, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there aren't any rape allegations, then we can't say that there are. See WP:BLP and WP:OR. Sources must explicitly make such a claim. DrKay (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article Incorrectly Claims he was Duke of York

That title, as well as all of his military titles was stripped from him by his mother, Queen Elizabeth in 2022. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:2221:f500:818f:a05f:f164:f32c (talkcontribs)

No, he retains the peerage. DrKay (talk) 21:33, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

The Guardian says the $15,000 was a loan[https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/aug/12/jeffrey-epstein-is-dead-but-questions-remain-for-prince-andrew] and The Evening Standard says she was paid $15,000 to go to London[https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/who-is-virginia-giuffre-suing-prince-andrew-b950026.html]. The claim currently in the article is not in the citations at the end of that sentence. A reliable source is needed, and the content should be balanced against other claims of what the money was for.
