Overview

• Andrew said with the King’s agreement he will no longer use his dukedom or several honours, effective immediately, while continuing to deny the accusations.
• He will stop using Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh, as well as his GCVO knighthood and his role in the Order of the Garter.
• He remains a prince by birth, his daughters keep their princess titles, and Sarah Ferguson will no longer use the Duchess of York styling in official contexts.
• He will continue living at Royal Lodge under a long‑term tenancy, with multiple reports indicating he will be excluded from major royal events such as Christmas at Sandringham.
• The Metropolitan Police say they are looking into media claims he sought an investigation into Virginia Giuffre in 2011, as Giuffre’s family calls for further action and the government signals it will be guided by the royal family on any formal stripping of titles.
