Overview
- Buckingham Palace said a formal process is underway to remove Andrew’s styles and honours, and he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- His tenancy at Royal Lodge in Windsor has been terminated, and he is set to relocate to a private residence on the Sandringham estate funded by the King’s private means.
- The palace is executing the changes via royal warrants to the Lord Chancellor, with Andrew’s entry removed from the Roll of the Peerage.
- Andrew remains eighth in the line of succession and his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, retain their titles; Sarah Ferguson is expected to leave Royal Lodge.
- Public reaction in the UK has largely welcomed the step, Virginia Giuffre’s family called it a vindication, Andrew continues to deny the allegations, and campaigners are exploring further legal action.
