PRINCE Andrew has suffered fresh humiliation as his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts have been quietly deleted.
Account @thedukeofyork no longer exists on Twitter, although it is believed to have been running earlier this week.
The Duke's Facebook and Instagram accounts – which both have the handle @hrhthedukeofyork – were still live yesterday morning, six days after Andrew lost his titles and gave up his use of the HRH style last Thursday.
However, a source close to Andrew told MailOnline all of his social media channels have now been removed and are no longer live.
They said some of the accounts were simply taking longer to filter through and may still appear as though they are live.
The source said: "The changes have been made to reflect the recent statement from Buckingham Palace regarding The Duke of York."

'He was known as Randy Andy for a reason'
In 2019, a friend claimed to The Sun Online that Andrew had slept with more than 1,000 women, but insisted he didn't sleep with teenagers.
The long-term pal said: "He was known as Randy Andy for a reason when he was younger and it's never really stopped.
"Travelling all over the world as the UK trade ambassador and for other royal duties has given him access to some beautiful women and he's taken full advantage.
"He is a red-blooded male and, if you like, he is like a sailor with a girl in every port."

Prince Andrew's 'wish list'
One glamourous ginger, the US swimwear model and actress Angie Everhart, claimed she was on a "wish list" of redheads the Duke wanted to meet.
Angie, who first met Andrew in 2003, was romanticly linked to him but was coy about the nature of their friendship in an interview with Mail Online.
The two met through her former father-in-law George Hamilton, who asked if she wanted to go for dinner with the prince while he was in Los Angeles.
She said George told her: "He likes redheads and he has a wish list of girls he'd like to meet while he's in town – and you're on it."
Angie, who also dated Sly Stallone and Kevin Costner, described Andrew as "one of my favourite people in the world. I truly love him".

Prince Andrew was ‘obsessed with redheads’
PRINCE Andrew was "obsessed" with redheads and convicted paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein would trawl the streets trying to find suitable women for him when he came to town, it has been claimed.
Epstein would reportedly go around art fairs and other events asking women if they "wanted a date with Prince Andrew" before he met up with the Duke.
'Randy Andy', as he was notoriously known as, was alleged by a pal to have slept with more than 1,000 women, who also insisted the Duke hadn't slept with any teenagers.
In Ian Halperin's 2020 book Sex, Lies And Dirty Money By The World's Powerful Elite, the author claims Epstein frequently provided Andrew with women, which was the reason for their friendship.
"He had an obsession with redheads, and Epstein would have his scouts combing the streets for the most beautiful redheads before they met," he said.
Ian quotes a woman as saying Andrew "rocked my world in the bedroom," adding that he was a "very daring lover" with "no limits".

Piers Morgan reveals The Queen’s hilarious quip
PIERS Morgan has revealed what The Queen told him after he suggested she might not be entirely delighted with all the garden parties she puts on.
Speaking on Brett Lee’s podcast, he shared: "I said, Your Majesty, can I ask you a question? Do you actually like the garden parties that you have to attend?"
"She looked at me and said, 'Mr Morgan, let me put it to you like this. How would you like 12,000 complete strangers trampling on your lawn?'"
Laughing, Piers continued: "I thought it was a very good answer. I said, 'I wouldn't like that very much at all, Ma'am'.
"And she just raised her regal eyebrow. She was great fun."

'A sigh of relief' for the Royals
MEMBERS of the Royal Family will "breathe a sigh of relief" if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry don't make it to Prince Philip's memorial, a royal expert has said.
Ingrid Seward, Editor in Chief of Majesty Magazine, said the Sussexes' absence would prevent the spring tribute from turning into the "Harry and Meghan show".
Ingrid Seward said: "I think if they choose not to come then everyone will breathe a sigh of relief.
"It is thanks-giving for Prince Philip and we don't want it turning into the Harry and Meghan show."

HP look out – there's a new royal brown sauce
THE monarchy is to battle again with the Houses of Parliament — launching a brown sauce to rival HP.
A royal ketchup is also splattering on the market — but both will need a substantial sauce of income at £6.99 a bottle.
The “Royal Estate” condiments are produced at the Queen’s place in Sandringham, Norfolk.
It will set you back an eye-watering £6.99 for a 295g bottle, compared to 60p for Sainsbury’s 460g version.
Sandringham’s Brown Sauce is “packed with vinegar and spices”. But it is less than half the size of a 600g bottle of Heinz-owned HP — £2.89 at Tesco.

Andrew's high demands including water be ‘at room temperature’
PRINCE Andrew demanded his water be served at room temperature – and ensured his valet carried a six-foot ironing board on foreign trips, it's reported.
Simon Wilson, the former deputy head of mission in Bahrain – who previously hosted the prince – has revealed further details of the royal's travelling entourage.
He told The Times Andrew flew with a team which included his equerries and private secretaries, as well as a valet armed with a whopping ironing board.
And the prince issued detailed directives about his life on the road – including the exact temperature of his water, Mr Wilson said.
The diplomat said Andrew was "rude and boorish" – and was known as a "buffoon" because of his "childish obsession with doing the exact opposite of what had been agreed".

Meg & Harry ‘setting up 11 firms in tax haven’
Lawyers and business managers for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have incorporated 11 companies and a trust for the couple since April 2020, according to state filings.
The couple opted to set up the firms in domestic tax haven Delaware – rather than in California where they live and conduct business.
Two of the companies are publishing firms, set up by attorney Richard Genow, who has worked with Meghan for Years, and the duchess’s business manager, money guru Andrew Meyer, reports Mail Online.
The first – Peca Publishing LLC – was used by Meghan to hold the rights for her children’s book The Bench.
The second – Orinoco Publishing LLC – is thought to have been set up to hold the rights for Harry’s in his bombshell memoir – due to be published later this year.
Other companies set up by the Sussexes include Cobblestone Lane LLC – which was set up in February 2020 and holds the Archewell logo.
Two others manage the royal’s netflix and Spotify deals – Archewell Audio LLC and Archewell Productions LLC.
Two more “entertainment” companies were created a year later – Bridgemont LLC and Hampshire LLC.

Andrew's ‘completely inappropriate’ remark at pregnant woman
PRINCE Andrew shocked a pregnant woman with a "completely inappropriate" remark before laughing "like a schoolboy", it's reported.
The embattled royal faces fresh humiliation after a report claiming he's a "t*ts and a bum man" resurfaced.
The article from 2015 quotes an acquaintance of Andrew's, who alleged he'd heard the Duke make "a few unbelievable comments".
"He made some completely inappropriate comment to someone who was pregnant and had massive boobs," the pal told New Zealand paper Waikato Times.
"You just think, 'Oh yikes – schoolboy stuff'.
"And he would roar with laughter and think it was hilarious, while said victim looked ashen-faced."
The report was published the day after ex-wife Sarah Ferguson famously defended Andrew as "a great man, the best man in the world".
It caps off a mortifying few days for the royal.
The happenings for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee (Continued…)
The May Bank Holiday Weekend will be moved to Thursday June 2, where a big celebratory parade will take place to honour The Queen's birthday.
Members of the Royal Family will join 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians, parading down The Mall on horseback, while the Queen watches from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
And the weekend will be extended with an extra day off on Friday, June 3.
Buckingham Palace said the extra long weekend will provide "an opportunity for communities throughout the United Kingdom to come together and celebrate the historic milestone".
The happenings for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
Lots of celebrations have been planned for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, including a national pudding competition, a pageant along the Mall, a four-day bank holiday and performances in Windsor Castle.
A contest, dubbed Bake Orf, has been launched to create a pud to become a national treasure like Coronation Chicken, devised when she took the throne in 1952.
The winning recipe will be sampled by the Queen and devoured at parties nationwide.
In February, some of the biggest names in entertainment will perform at the highly-anticipated Platinum Party at the Palace.
Then, the Platinum Jubilee Celebration will take place between May 12 and 15 at Windsor Castle.
This is set to be a three-day spectacular, with more than 500 horses and 1,000 performers taking their audience on a “gallop” through history.
Explained: When is The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
Princess Elizabeth became Queen on February 6, 1952 – the day her father King George VI died.
Therefore February 6, 2022, will mark 70 years on the throne.
However, the official celebrations always take place at the beginning of June 2022.
Platinum Jubilee celebrations will begin on Thursday, June 2, 2022, and continue over the weekend until Sunday, June 5.
June 2 has replaced the usual May Day bank holiday across the UK, with June 3 an extra day's bank holiday,

What is The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
The Platinum Jubilee marks 70 years of a monarch's reign.
The Queen will be the first British monarch to mark this milestone, having acceded to the throne in 1952 at the age of 25.
On significant anniversaries, celebrations take place across the country and the Commonwealth.

There'll be parties across the UK as well as public ceremonies such as the Trooping the Colour, which marks the Queen's official birthday.

Explained: The Jubilee medals
Previous Jubilee medals have had a strict criteria of having to be serving on the day of the Jubilee, and completed a minimum of 5 years service.
The Platinum Jubilee is momentous achievement and all of Her Majesty’s forces, should receive any potential award.
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal will be awarded to serving Armed Forces personnel with five years’ service on 6 February 2022. The medal will not be available to veterans who left before that date.
The medals are usually only awarded to serving members of the armed forces and royals who have held an honorary title for a year. Both Dukes are now private citizens - Milica Cosic
Meghan Markle also eligible for a Platinum Jubilee medal
The medals will be distributed to "both working and non-working" family members such as Harry and Andrew, sources say.
This also means Meghan Markle is eligible to get a Platinum Jubilee medal along with other non-working members of the family.
The Platinum Jubilee medals are set to be awarded to serving members of the Armed Forces, police, fire, emergency and prison services on Feb 6.
The gongs, which are made of nickel silver, feature an image of the Queen with the Latin inscription "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fid Def", which stands for "Elizabeth II, By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith".

'A surprise' Andrew will get Jubilee medal
Graham Smith, CEO of anti-monarchy group Republic, said: "I think people would be surprised to see Andrew getting anything at all.
"I think it’s pretty poor judgement to think people are going to want to see him acknowledged in any way whatsoever.
"This medal means nothing to us but it will mean something to him and I think the fact that he’s being awarded it will probably upset people who find the whole case against him deeply unpleasant and unsettling.”
But,royal sources say in common with previous Queen's Jubilee years it is "likely" that wider members of the family will receive the gong.
The medals will be distributed to "both working and non-working" family members such as Harry and Andrew, sources say.

Fury as Andrew & Harry WILL receive Jubilee medals
PRINCE Andrew and Prince Harry will receive Platinum Jubilee medals from the Queen after all – despite being ineligible.
The Dukes are not eligible to receive medals marking the Queen's 70 years on the throne through their military affiliations after they were stripped by the Queen.
But Her Majesty, 95, is set to privately fund commemorative gongs for the Royal Family, as she does on all past jubilee occasions.
This means Harry, 37, and Andrew, 61, are spared the embarrassment and the medals will be a private gift from the monarch.
And the latest is likely to cause upset among war heroes who called for Andrew to be stripped of his military patronages.

Meghan & Harry’s ‘inappropriate’ request
According to an expert, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's request to live in Windsor Castle after their wedding may have been rejected by the Queen because it would have been "inappropriate".
After their wedding, they wanted somewhere bigger to raise a family, and according to The Sunday Times, they went to the Queen for help.
The Duke and Duchess asked Her Majesty if they could live at Windsor Castle – something royal biographer Hugo Vickers said may not have been "entirely appropriate".
The royal historian told the Times in 2019: "There are empty bedrooms and suites in the private apartments within Windsor Castle which the Sussexes may have had their eye on, or perhaps some former living quarters in the castle grounds converted into other things.
"But I can see how it might not be entirely appropriate to have a young family living there."

Prince Andrew DELETES social media accounts
PRINCE Andrew's Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts have been quietly deleted – as the embattled royal is blasted by furious Brits over a new doc that aired last night.
Account @thedukeofyork no longer exists on Twitter, although it is believed to have been running within the past couple of days.
The Duke's Facebook and Instagram accounts – which both have the handle @hrhthedukeofyork – were still live this morning, six days after Andrew lost his titles and gave up his use of the HRH style last Thursday.
However, a source close to Andrew told MailOnline all of his social media channels have now been removed and are no longer live.
They said some of the accounts were simply taking longer to filter through and may still appear as though they are live.
The source said: "The changes have been made to reflect the recent statement from Buckingham Palace regarding The Duke of York."
Philip's memorial perfect opportunity to introduce Lilibet
The spring service for Harry's late grandfather, who died at the age of 99, falls in the same year as the Queen's platinum jubilee.
It would be the perfect opportunity for the Sussexes to introduce their daughter, Lilibet, to the Royal Family.
But fears over their security has cast doubt over whether they will make the celebrations.
A legal representative for the Duke said of him leaving the UK: "While his role within the institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the UK.
"In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.”
Buckingham Palace has been approached for comment.
Harry plans to sue Government
Harry plans to sue the Government to give him back the protection he lost when he quit royal duties.
And until then, legal representatives for the duke have said he and his family will be "unable to return" to the UK.
Asked whether the Sussexes could return for Philip's memorial, Royal biographer Phil Dampier told The Sun Online: "It wouldn't at all surprise me if they didn’t come back. I think the security gives them a good excuse not to.
"Harry might come because it looks good from a PR point of view.
"He will be criticised if he does come and criticised if he doesn't – he will look disrespectful to his grandfather who he was very fond of – so Harry may come but I’d be very surprised if Meghan does."
The expert added: "In the current climate flying about for one off events isn't a very good look, I think if [the memorial visit] was combined with a few days and a serious attempt to sit down with his brother and father and try and talk things through, you can see the point, but I don't get the impression that anyone is ready to heal the rift."
