Prince Andrew High School decides to change its name of over 60 years to make it seem more ‘safe and inclusive’
的 安德鲁王子 High School in 加拿大 has announced it is changing its name of more than 60 years to create a ‘safe and inclusive’ space for its students.
Principal Craig Campbell told parents in a letter that the school was ‘ready and excited’ for the re-brand which will ‘uphold its values.’
The education centre in Nova Scotia took the Duke of York’s name in 1960, to honour him shortly after he was born.
But following pressure from the local community after sexual assault allegations were made against the royal, the school said it will be giving itself a new name which matches its ‘supportive and respectful’ ethos.
The Queen’s youngest son is facing a civil lawsuit in New York over claims he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 – after his recent bid to have the case thrown out was rejected by a US judge. Andrew vehemently denies the claims.
The 61-year-old has since been stripped of his royal titles and patronages, and was further humiliated this week by bombshell claims from a former Buckingham Palace maid who branded him a ‘horrible, nasty man’ and alleged his ‘foul-mouthed’ tantrums left her in tears.

Announcing it plans to drop its link to Prince Andrew by the end of year or early 2023 at the latest, the school said it wanted its new name to be ‘reflective of [它的] community’.
In a letter to parents, shared by local newspaper The Coast, principal Mr Campbell wrote: ‘The name of a school should be reflective of our school community and uphold our values as a safe and inclusive learning space for all.
‘Our hope is to continue to build our identity as a positive, supportive and respectful community, with a name to match.
‘We have heard from many of you who feel the same way… we’re ready and excited to take this next step.’
Locals will be invited to submit their suggestions for the new name, with the decision being made by a school committee made of six students and staff.

Mr Campbell added: ‘The committee will review and evaluate the submissions and will then hold a student vote.
‘We’ll then forward the top three recommendations to the Halifax Regional Centre for Education for final approval.’
It has been a humiliating week for Andrew after his former maid Charlotte Briggs broke her silence 26 years after working for him in Buckingham Palace.
The 47-year-old accused Andrew of throwing tantrums over curtains and reducing her to tears during her time at the royal household.
