SECRETARY of Defense Leon E. Panetta – with Prince Andrew of Great Britain at right -– delivers the keynote address at the Centennial Commemorative Gala for Naval Aviation at the National Building Museum on December 1, 2011 in Washington D.C.  (Department of Defense).

Prince Andrew of Great Britain has been stripped of his remaining titles and kicked out of the royal residences by King Charles III in the wake of concern sabout his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the Associated Press, Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and will no longer be a prince. He’ll be evicted from the Royal Lodge mansion near Windsor Castle.

He’s already forfeited his title as Duke of York because of controversy over his friendship with the late Epstein, a convicted sex offender who committed suicide.

“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,” read a statement from Buckingham Palace.

According to The New York Times, atomic testing was ordered to resume; it ended in 1992 and above-ground testing ended in the Sixties with the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty.

“We’ve halted it years – many years – ago,” said Trump. But with others doing testing, I think it’s appropriate that we do so also.”

The last nation to do so was North Korea, in 2017.

Brandon Williams, a senior official in charge of nuclear testing said “I would not advise testing,” but added that the decision is “above my pay grade.”
