King Charles’ brother Andrew to be stripped of ‘prince’ title and evicted from royal mansion
CNN ^ | 30th October 2025 | Max Foster, Lauren Kent, Lauren Said-Moorhouse

— Britain’s King Charles has started a process to strip his brother Andrew of his titles and given him notice to move out of his mansion, Buckingham Palace said Thursday.

Andrew, 65, has faced renewed scrutiny over his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following the release of his sexual assault accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl.”

Giuffre – who the prince claims never to have met – said in the memoir that Andrew sexually assaulted her while she was a teenager. Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Andrew has repeatedly denied all allegations against him.

On Thursday, Buckingham Palace took the extraordinary step of further censuring Andrew, saying in a statement: “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,” the statement continued. “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”

CNN understands Andrew will be moving to a property on the Sandringham estate, which is privately owned by the British monarch, as opposed to the Crown Estate, which manages the royal family’s land and property holdings. It will be privately funded by King Charles. The move will take place as soon as it is practicable.

It’s understood the palace acted because while it acknowledges that Andrew continues to deny all allegations made against him, it is clear that he made serious lapses of judgement.

What a sad fall.


No doubt the King is acting to save ‘The Firm’, but it has got to be hard to have to do this to his brother.

Charles is too lenient. Andrew should be headed to Tower Green.

Randy Andy will still live on the palace estate funded by the Tapon King. Unfortunately, any royal protection his title may have given him is now gone. Now the piranhas will set in to see if he can be brought to court. His ex Sarah doesn’t have the same. Wonder if she’ll move in with Randy Andy again or with one of her daughters? Remains to be seen. Her pockets are empty.

A sad day perhaps,
but he was nicknamed Randy Andy in the 80’s.

Also, he was in the military flew helicopters for the Royal Navy during the Falklands war.

Finally, none of this is new information, perhaps newly rereleased but imo nothing unknown or not previously divulged has been brought to light.

I've always been pretty ambivalent about the Royals and their detractors or defenders but my overall opinion (yes I know everyone cares so much about what I think) of the royal house is much less with Charles running things than when Elizabeth was still alive.

Well, Al Neri wasn't available, and Andrew couldn't read the room until it was too late. He actually volunteered to do an interview where he claimed that Epstein was good for the UK because of trade deals. He's too thick to leave alone.

Giuffre – who the prince claims never to have met –

I believe her paid her 12M pounds. Which is a lot to pay someone you've never met.

He was actually at his best in the military. He actually risked his life. Flew choppers during the Falklands/Malvinas war onto and off of aircraft carriers.

A few days ago they were saying he couldn’t be de-Princed. How’d it happen?

Not in popular music but Andrew is now the accused pedophile formerly known as the Prince.

Banging sexy teenagers is deemed not a princely thing to do.

Now we see who dies first

If Charles dies first, what is to stop William from kicking Andrew out?

If Andrew dies first, then it all works out for him

That's sort of Cinderella, except backup king Randy Andy isn't tall, dark, and handsome.
