Overview
- Buckingham Palace said the king has begun a formal process to remove Andrew’s style, titles and honours, and that he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- The palace formally notified the termination of Andrew’s Royal Lodge lease in Windsor and said he must vacate the residence.
- Multiple outlets citing the BBC report he will relocate to a property on the Sandringham estate, with the move funded privately by the monarch.
- The move follows the posthumous publication of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir and newly surfaced emails that revived scrutiny of Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein; Andrew continues to deny the allegations.
- Officials were consulted and support the step, and legal analysts note some title removals may need legislation; Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie keep their titles under the 1917 Letters Patent.
