Overview

  • Defence Secretary John Healey said ministers are working with the King to remove Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s honorary vice-admiral rank.
  • Buckingham Palace announced last week that he will no longer use the title “prince” and must leave Royal Lodge for private accommodation at Sandringham.
  • Newly released 2010 emails show he told Jeffrey Epstein he would try to visit New York and that it would be good to catch up in person.
  • The Guardian reported the King approved a six-figure one-off payment and is prepared to fund an annual stipend, with talks over the package ongoing.
  • Healey said he had no update on whether his service medals would be removed, and reporting indicates he is not expected to vacate Royal Lodge until after Christmas.
