Overview
- Buckingham Palace said the King has initiated formal proceedings to remove Andrew’s royal styles, titles and honors.
- Andrew will be styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, losing HRH and the Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh, with his name removed from the Roll of the Peerage.
- Royal warrants are being prepared for Lord Chancellor David Lammy to complete the administrative steps.
- His Royal Lodge tenancy is being terminated, with a move to a private Sandringham residence reported and funded from the King’s personal finances.
- The action follows renewed disclosures tied to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, draws broad approval in the UK, and triggers calls for further legal steps that Andrew continues to deny warrant.
