Overview
- The King initiated a formal process to remove Andrew’s styles, titles and honours, and palace guidance says he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- He has been formally notified to vacate the Royal Lodge; UK media report an expected move to a private property on the Sandringham estate, and Sky News says Sarah Ferguson will also leave Windsor.
- The formal removal is expected to proceed via the Lord Chancellor, identified in reports as David Lammy, while Beatrice and Eugenie retain their titles under the 1917 Letters Patent.
- Buckingham Palace expressed solidarity with victims and survivors of abuse, as the move follows years of fallout from Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and renewed focus from Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.
- Parliament is seeking answers from the Crown Estate over Royal Lodge finances and advocacy group Republic has signaled legal action, keeping public accountability pressures active.
