Overview
- Buckingham Palace said the King has initiated a process to remove Andrew’s style, titles and honours, and that he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- Formal notice was served for Andrew to surrender his long lease on Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle, with a move to alternative private accommodation to follow.
- Reports say he will relocate to a property on the Sandringham estate, with future housing privately funded by the King, and the move taking place as soon as practicable.
- The palace called the censures necessary despite Andrew’s continued denials and conveyed sympathies to victims and survivors of abuse.
- Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee has pressed the Crown Estate and Treasury to justify the ‘peppercorn’ rent deal for Royal Lodge, while the palace noted Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie keep their titles and Sarah Ferguson will leave the property.
