From Adored Prince to Outcast, Andrew's Years-Long Fall From Grace
King Charles removed Andrew's royal titles to protect the monarchy's reputation amid ongoing fallout from Epstein-linked sexual abuse allegations, marking a historic palace shift.
- On Thursday, King Charles III stripped Prince Andrew of his royal titles and honours; Buckingham Palace said he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and will no longer live at Royal Lodge.
- Public and political pressure pushed King Charles III to act, following Prince Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre's accusations, including a 2022 settlement and a memoir released this month.
- Andrew's own remarks and denials undermined his public standing as he stepped down after a calamitous 2019 BBC interview and told the BBC `I never have really partied`.
- Formal notice has been served to surrender the Royal Lodge lease and he will move to private accommodation, although he remains eighth in line to the throne and that right can be removed only by an Act of Parliament.
- With senior royals supporting victims, the decision signals an institutional shift as Queen Camilla, Queen Consort, and the Duchess of Edinburgh back victims, while commentators call it seismic.
