Falklands Remove Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor Plaques as MoD Backs King’s Process

The removals reflect King Charles III’s formal process to strip Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor of styles, titles, honours.

Prince Andrew marches with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, the division he served in, at a parade, in London, commemorating 25 years since the end of the Falklands War on June 17, 2007.

Overview

  • Four commemorative plaques bearing Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor’s name have been taken down across the Falkland Islands, according to multiple reports.
  • Sites include RAF Mount Pleasant’s airport, a 2002 plaque at Stanley’s Infant Junior School, and a Falklands Conservation field station, with officials confirming their removal.
  • The UK Ministry of Defence said it is acting in line with the King’s intent regarding the ongoing process to remove Andrew’s styles, titles and honours.
  • A tablet at the Falklands’ King Edward Memorial Hospital was removed in 2022 following his civil settlement with Virginia Giuffre, with a local MP saying it would go to the Falklands Museum.
  • The de‑commemorations follow the late‑October move to strip royal designations and are linked in reporting to scrutiny over Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as institutions in the UK also distance themselves.
