Overview

  • Buckingham Palace said on October 30 that the King has initiated the formal removal of Andrew’s style, titles and honours, and that he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
  • The Palace called the censures necessary despite his continued denials and emphasized the King and Queen’s sympathies for victims and survivors of abuse.
  • Andrew will vacate Royal Lodge after serving formal notice to surrender his long lease and is set to move into private accommodation on the Sandringham estate.
  • Members of the House Oversight Committee, including Raja Krishnamoorthi and Suhas Subramanyam, urged Andrew to testify about Epstein, while Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie continue a discharge petition to force public release of DOJ Epstein files.
  • Parliamentary scrutiny of Andrew’s Crown Estate lease is intensifying, and UK media report a privately funded relocation package that could include a one-off payment and an annual stipend.
