LONDON (AP) – King Charles III on Thursday stripped his disgraced brother Prince Andrew of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence after weeks of pressure to act over his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Buckingham Palace said the king “initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.”
After the king´s rare move, Andrew will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and not as a prince, and he will move from his Royal Lodge residence into “private accommodation.”
It is almost unprecedented for a British prince or princess to be stripped of that title. It last happened in 1919, when Prince Ernest Augustus, who was a U.K. royal and also a prince of Hanover, had his British title removed for siding with Germany during World War I.
Demand had been growing on the palace to oust the prince from Royal Lodge after he surrendered his use of the title Duke of York earlier this month over new revelations about his friendship with Epstein and renewed sexual abuse allegations by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, whose posthumous memoir hit bookstores last week.
But the king went even further to punish him for serious lapses of judgment by removing the title of prince that he has held since birth as a child of a monarch, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,” the palace said. “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.”

Catch him naked with his stuffed animals again?
Biden and his Rabbit?
Charles is exceeding all expectations. Wish he would confine Starmer to the Tower and start restoring the realm.
I don’t think so. This sounds more like an auto pen thing with William at the helm.
Thanks!
Looks like all involved have decided that too many inconvenient questions were being asked and that Andrew had to go.
Pity all the people who’ve enabled him, and not just having to do with sex trafficking, aren’t being run out of town on a rail alongside him.
The man who wanted to be his mistress’ tampon maybe should zip his lip when it comes to other men’s indiscretions.
(They’re both awful. William may turn things around.)
He got caught.
Yep!
I was a fan of his mother, but him, not so much.
BINGO!
Hey kettle, this is pot here, you gotta go bro.
Starmer refuses to remove Andrew from line of succession
Andrew remains a Counselor of State.
Andrew's two remaining royal perks after he's stripped of titles by King Charles
Why Andrew remaining a Councellor of State isn't an issue.
Okaaaay.
But does remaining in the line of succession offer him any protection regarding the Hague Service Convention with regard to civil cases...?
Inquiring minds want to know.
If the Palace is leaving Andrew in the line of succession as a means of getting around the Hague Service Convention and avoiding discovery, not to mention more payouts, in civil cases...
There will be no coming back from THAT.
That would be an interesting question to pose to YouTube’s BlackBeltBarrister...
Based on rumors of William (which I hope and pray are unsubstantiated...that he had an affair), I hope that are not true, and that he can, indeed, turn things around. Katherine is so beautiful, hopefully inside and out, and that William would not throw away their relationship over an indiscretion. But then who knows, seems pretty common these days, whether royalty or not.
Like Andrew was the only one. Bill Clinton was there on Epsteins island a couple of dozen times plus was at his home in New Mexico.
