Australian universities RMIT and Murdoch have cut ties with Prince Andrew’s Pitch@Palace program following his disastrous BBC interview during which he was questioned about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Pitch@Palace competition aims to match young entrepreneurs with influential business leaders, and will not be continuing at the universities in 2020.
Both institutes informed Buckingham Palace of their decisions to end the programs, stating their commitment to providing a safe and inclusive place to study.
