BT WISH TO DISCONNECT PRINCE ANDREW DUKE OF YORK AFTER TV INTERVIEW

BT says it will stop sponsoring an award fronted by Prince Andrew if he does not step down as patron.

It follows the Duke of York’s interview about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to which top accountancy KPMG firm have already pulled the plug on the Duke.

Telecoms giant BT was a corporate sponsor of the Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award (iDEA), which develops workplace skills. Prince Andrew is the patron and the award’s website links to the duke’s own site.

The news comes as three Australian universities joined the list of organisations distancing themselves from Prince Andrew as well.
