Overview
- King Charles announced on Oct. 30 that Prince Andrew lost all titles and must leave his residence, and Sarah Ferguson also lost the Duchess of York title while their daughters keep their princess titles.
- Royal commentators quoted in new reports say Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are expected to keep their distance from their father as they focus on their own families and commitments.
- Duncan Larcombe reports that Prince Harry feels strong sympathy for his cousins, while Meghan Markle is likely to avoid visible support due to how the Epstein case resonates in the United States.
- A palace source cited by People via TAG24 suggests Camilla, Catherine and William pushed for the decision, a claim reported as speculation rather than confirmed fact.
- Coverage links the move to Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which he vehemently denies, and TAG24 reports that the British government backed the decision and that Andrew did not contest it.
