It's time for me to go, but I'm handing over to Beatriz Colon for all of the evening royal news. 

A YouGov poll has shown that 80% of Britons support formally stripping Prince Andrew of his dukedom, some days after he gave up his royal titles (he remains a prince but has ceased to be the Duke of York, and is no longer a working royal), amid ongoing allegations pertaining to his relationship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The survey found four in five members of the public backed the idea, with 63% "strongly" in favor after Andrew relinquished his Duke of York title last week,  and with 17% "somewhat" supporting the idea. Only legislation can officially remove Andrew's dukedom, though he has pledged not to use it, so it is currently held in abeyance.

The YouGov poll found that 6% opposed the idea; 4% somewhat and 2% strongly, while 14% of nearly 6,700 adults questioned did not know.

Last week, the royal world was rocked by the shocking news that Prince Andrew would finally be giving up his titles, including the Duke of York, and honors, which include his membership of the Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain, following "discussions with the King."

In a special audio-only episode of A Right Royal Podcast, hosts Andrea Caamano and HELLO! editor Emily Nash spoke to bestselling author Andrew Lownie, who wrote Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. Andrew described the statement as a "lost opportunity" for the King. Listen to the podcast here.
