“”Mountbatten Windsor””

There must be a reason the writer chose to not call him by the name he was always known as....WHY???

[vivenne]

Because that is now his official title.

[ChronicMA]

the article is terribly inconsistent

it refers to Charles as “the then-Prince of Wales” but does not refer to Andrew as “the then-Prince of York” or “the then-Prince Andrew”

If you refer to Andrew as Mountbatten Windsor then you should refer to Charles as King even though the events occurred before he became King.

I vote for using “the then-Prince of York” throughout

“Mountbatten Windsor”

Formerly "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha."

[kalee]

The King stripped him of all titles including Prince. The Royal statement declares that he is now a private citizen and will be called Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Because he is not Prince Andrew any longer. He is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. It is proper AP style to refer to him as Mr M-W or just M-W.

He is no longer “special.” (Not that he ever was.). Now is just another rich jerk.
