Overview
King Charles III stripped Prince Andrew of all royal titles and evicted him from Royal Lodge due to his controversial ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The rare decision follows public pressure and renewed sexual assault allegations by Virginia Giuffre, whose posthumous memoir details alleged encounters when she was 17.
Andrew, consistently denying all allegations, paid a multimillion-dollar settlement to Giuffre in 2022 and stepped down from royal duties after a controversial 2019 BBC interview.
Andrew has been formally notified to surrender his Royal Lodge lease and will relocate to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate, 100 miles north of London.
Despite losing his titles and being renamed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, he remains eighth in line to the British throne, while his daughters retain their royal titles.
