Prince Andrew Way to be renamed but council warns it won't be straightforward
Mid and East Antrim Council will consult residents and coordinate with agencies to rename Prince Andrew Way, aiming to honor late Queen Elizabeth II and maintain a royal link.
- On Monday, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council agreed to start the formal process to rename Prince Andrew Way in Carrickfergus and instructed staff to begin administrative work.
- In recent weeks as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stepped away from some titles, councillors moved after growing public concern and the King removed his style and honours last month.
- Council staff will engage statutory bodies including Royal Mail and the royal household, launch a public consultation, and assess impacts and potential costs for about 10 addresses on Prince Andrew Way.
- Councillors across parties including DUP, UUP, TUV and Sinn Féin backed renaming Prince Andrew Way after Queen Elizabeth II, while officers warned the change is "not straightforward" with far-reaching implications for residents.
- The council's decision is the first UK initiative to remove Prince Andrew's name from a street, following Prince Andrew Way's 1986 naming and Epstein files released in the US.
