Prince Andrew, Duke of York, KG, GCVO, CD (Andrew Albert Christian Edward, born 19 February 1960) is a member of the British Royal Family, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
He has been titled Duke of York (as well as Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh) since 1986, and is eighth in line to succession to the British throne. Andrew is the first in line to not be a descendant of the current reigning monarch.
As Duke of York, Andrew undertook official duties and engagements on behalf of the Queen. He served as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment for 10 years until July 2011. Andrew resigned from his royal duties in November 2019.[2][3][4]
