Overview
- Buckingham Palace said on Oct. 30 that King Charles has initiated formal steps to remove Andrew’s “Prince” title along with royal orders and honors.
- The palace stated he will be styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor going forward.
- He has been told to vacate Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, with the BBC reporting a move to Sandringham House.
- A palace statement framed the action as expressing support and condolences for all abuse victims.
- The move follows scrutiny tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including a 2001 allegation Andrew denies, an Oct. 21 memoir by the accuser who died in April, his mid-October offer to return the Duke of York title, and confirmation that his daughters retain princess titles under a 1917 letters patent.
