Buckingham Palace announced that it has started the process to strip disgraced Prince Andrew of all of his royal titles and honours, while moving him out of Royal Lodge, in a bombshell statement
Prince Andrew will be stripped of all his Royal titles and honours, including ‘prince’, by King Charles in a bombshell statement.
Buckingham Palace revealed this evening that the disgraced Royal will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and he will be forced to move out of the 30-room Royal Lodge, which he shared with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Andrew gave up the use of his other titles, including the Duke of York, earlier this month following mounting pressure about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – allegations which Andrew has strongly denied.
In a bombshell announcement, Buckingham Palace said: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.
“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
Andrew’s daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, will hold onto their royal titles as they are the children of the child of a Sovereign – which is in line with King George V’s Letters Patent of 1917.
