NHS Trust Removes Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Plaque at London Hospital

The Trust cited recent changes to his status after Buckingham Palace began formally removing his royal styles, titles, honours.

Overview

  • Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust confirmed the Chase Farm Hospital plaque unveiled by Andrew in 2019 is being taken down.
  • The Trust said he was removed as its patron in 2022 and has had no association with the organisation since then.
  • Buckingham Palace last week initiated a formal process to remove his style, titles and honours, stating he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • The Palace said formal notice has been served to surrender his Royal Lodge lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.
  • Local responses vary, with Stotfold officials saying Prince Andrew Drive will not be renamed unless residents request it, and a separate Andrew plaque in Belfast was previously removed without permission.
