Andrew Stripped of Royal Style as U.S. Lawmakers Seek Interview in Epstein Probe

The moves signal a bid to close the chapter with a managed exit from royal life.

Overview

  • An official notice in The Gazette sealed with the Great Seal dated November 3 confirms Andrew is no longer entitled to the style His Royal Highness or the title Prince, and his profile has been removed from the royal.uk website.
  • Buckingham Palace has ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge in Windsor, with reporting indicating plans for relocation to a smaller residence on the Sandringham estate and discussions of a one‑off payment and private stipend from the King.
  • UK Defence Secretary John Healey says the government is working to remove Andrew’s Royal Navy vice‑admiral rank, advancing efforts to strip remaining formal distinctions.
  • The palace has indicated Andrew may retain his Falklands campaign medal earned for wartime service, even as other honours are withdrawn.
  • Sixteen Democratic members of the U.S. House have requested a recorded interview from Andrew related to the Epstein investigation, setting a November 20 response date and acknowledging limits on compelling foreign nationals.
