Beatrice Takes New Role and Sisters Reunite as Letters Patent Strip Andrew of HRH and Prince

A U.S. request for his cooperation underscores the Palace’s drive to contain reputational damage through visible distance and role reassignment.

Overview

  • Official notices published in The Gazette confirm King Charles issued Letters Patent dated November 3 removing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s right to the style ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince’.
  • Buckingham Palace says formal notice has been served to surrender Andrew’s Royal Lodge lease and he will move to private accommodation, with reporting placing him on the Sandringham estate.
  • Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, whose titles are unaffected, were photographed embracing in Mayfair in their first joint public outing since the formal sanctions.
  • The Outward Bound Trust appointed Princess Beatrice as Deputy Patron after six years as a trustee, a move confirmed by the charity’s chief executive.
  • Prince William declined to discuss the matter during Brazil appearances focused on the Earthshot Prize, and U.S. House Oversight Democrats have requested Andrew sit for a transcribed interview about the Epstein investigation.
