Prince Andrew will be stripped of his princely title and be forced to move out of his Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor amid the continued fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
King Charles is initiating a formal process to remove Prince Andrew’s titles and honours and formal notice has been served on Andrew to surrender his lease at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," the statement said.
“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. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
“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.”
