A royal source told the publication: “It feels like we are reaching a tipping point.”
Other options include removing the duke from the Order of the Garter, an ancient order of chivalry that Andrew has been a part of since 2006, or evicting him from his lavish 30-room home, Royal Lodge.
Stripping Andrew of his Dukedom is not a straightforward or simple process, as only Parliament has the power to remove it. But it is likely to have public support, as a recent YouGov poll showed that 67% of Britons backed removing his remaining titles.
But there is a legal mechanism for it, which was last used during the First World War to sanction aristocrats who had UK titles but were fighting in the German army.
However, the Palace are concerned that such a move would be a waste of Parliamentary time.
