King Charles Begins Process to Strip Prince Andrew of Title and Honours

Buckingham Palace says the step is meant to show sympathy for victims of abuse.

Overview

  • The palace announced on October 30 that formal procedures have begun to remove Andrew’s “Prince” style and other honours.
  • Andrew will vacate Royal Lodge in Windsor, and he is reported to be relocating to Sandringham House, according to the BBC.
  • Once the changes take effect, he will be styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will retain their titles under the 1917 Letters Patent that grant such status to the daughters of a monarch’s son.
  • Andrew denies allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein, whose former associate’s claims resurfaced after a memoir published on October 21 following her death in April; he had already announced the return of the Duke of York title on October 17.
