In a significant move, King Charles III has officially stripped his younger brother, Prince Andrew, of his royal titles and privileges. The decision, announced by the palace on Thursday, marks a dramatic shift in the royal family’s handling of the ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Andrew. The statement declared, ‘His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.’ Consequently, Prince Andrew will now be referred to as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, a clear departure from his previous royal status. Additionally, he will vacate his long-standing residence within the grounds of Windsor Castle. This decision comes in the wake of renewed public outrage over allegations made by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s primary accusers, which Prince Andrew has consistently denied. The palace’s action underscores the monarchy’s efforts to distance itself from the scandal and maintain its public image.
