Overview
- Following a palace procedure announced late last week, Andrew lost all royal styles and listings on the Roll of the Peerage and is now formally Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- Defence Secretary John Healey said the government is acting to remove his honorary Vice-Admiral rank at the King’s request, with other decorations under review.
- Andrew has been told to leave the Royal Lodge at Windsor for accommodation on the Sandringham estate, with the King providing an appropriate private allowance and relocation costs.
- Court filings from the US Virgin Islands’ case against JPMorgan revealed 2010–2011 emails suggesting continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein, as Giuffre’s posthumous memoirs renew allegations; Andrew denies wrongdoing.
- Media report Scotland Yard is considering new inquiries related to the memoirs and emails, and that Andrew has been asked about them, while he remains eighth in the line of succession because removal would require legislation across realms.
