Overview
- Buckingham Palace said he will be styled Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and lose the dukedom of York, the earldom of Inverness, the barony of Killyleagh and honours including the Order of the Garter.
- A formal notice requires him to surrender the Royal Lodge lease, with a move to private accommodation at Sandringham to follow.
- The palace cited his links to Jeffrey Epstein and conveyed the King and Queen’s sympathy for victims and survivors of abuse.
- The Metropolitan Police say they are actively examining press claims that in 2011 Andrew asked a protection officer to seek compromising material on Virginia Giuffre.
- Giuffre’s family hailed the move as a victory, while MPs weigh oversight measures, sources say Charles will continue private financial support, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie retain their titles.
