LONDON: Prince Andrew has stepped down from his role as Britain’s roving trade ambassador, months after he was pilloried by the media for his friendship with a convicted US paedophile and having contacts with the son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The 51-year-old prince, Queen Elizabeth’s second son, had been a special representative for a government body promoting British businesses abroad and seeking to attract foreign investment since 2001. (PTI)
