Donald Trump has said he feels "badly" for the Royal Family after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his titles - as it emerged he could also be stripped of his honorary rank of vice admiral.

Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One, the US president was asked about his thoughts on the King's decision to strip his brother of his peerages in the wake of further disclosures about his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

"It's a terrible thing that's happened to the family," Mr Trump said. "That's been a tragic situation. It's too bad. I feel badly for the family."
