King Charles Strips Prince Andrew of Titles and Orders Exit From Royal Lodge

Overview

• Buckingham Palace said Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and has begun a formal process to revoke his style, titles and honors.
• A formal notice to end his Royal Lodge lease was delivered, and the Press Association reports he is expected to relocate to a private residence on the Sandringham estate.
• Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie retain their titles and positions in the line of succession, and Andrew remains eighth without any change to the law.
• Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office endorsed the decision, and a YouGov poll found 79% approval, with 53% saying the King has done enough and 58% judging the move overdue.
• Virginia Giuffre’s family hailed the outcome, while campaigners pressed for criminal accountability as London police review a media report about Andrew seeking information on Giuffre and a minister urged cooperation with U.S. authorities.
