Overview
- Palace proceedings mean the former Prince Andrew will be styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following the removal of his styles, titles and honours.
- Andrew will vacate Royal Lodge and relocate to a property on the Sandringham estate, with future accommodation privately funded by the King, according to PEOPLE.
- The Government was consulted and supported the decision as constitutionally proper, with Andrew not objecting and the Prince of Wales and wider family understood to back the move.
- Former royal press secretary Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE the fallout is likely to have a "devastating effect" on Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
- Beatrice remains a Counsellor of State able to carry out constitutional duties, and a recent Riyadh event highlighted title sensitivities when her name tag used an outdated styling.
