Overview
- Buckingham Palace announced on 30 October a formal process to remove Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s style, titles and honours, and the statement expressly acknowledged victims and survivors of abuse.
- A friend of King Charles and Queen Camilla told The Times the King had "lost patience" and that the latest palace message was "a statement from the King," not one requiring Andrew’s sign‑off.
- The same source alleged Andrew routinely rejected drafts that referenced survivors after his 2019 Newsnight interview, leading to prior omissions in palace communications.
- Andrew has been told to leave Royal Lodge after more than two decades there, and reports say a one‑off relocation payment and an annual stipend privately funded by the King are being arranged.
- Pressure for testimony is growing as U.S. House Oversight members call for Andrew to give evidence on Jeffrey Epstein, while leaked emails suggest he stayed in contact with Epstein beyond 2010; Andrew denies the accusations against him.
