Palace Confirms Hyphenated Styling for Andrew as Post-Title Consequences Deepen

The formal removal was executed by Letters Patent on 3 November after months of scrutiny over his Epstein links.

Overview

  • An official notice in The Gazette records the King’s Letters Patent declaring Andrew is no longer entitled to the style of Royal Highness or the titular dignity of Prince.
  • The Palace now styles him Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a hyphen, aligning usage with the 1960 Privy Council declaration on royal surnames.
  • Reports indicate he has been required to leave Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, with arrangements and negotiations over relocation continuing.
  • Coverage cites that Prince William worked closely with the King and senior advisers to secure Andrew’s agreement to relinquish remaining status.
  • A royal columnist reports changes to Windsor protocol, including no salutes and staff using “Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor,” and alleges the withdrawal of a meal delivery perk and new demands for household staff at any future residence.
