LONDON (Oct 31): King Charles III is stripping his younger brother Andrew of his royal titles and ousting him from his long-term residence on the Windsor estate, the palace said on Thursday, the latest fallout to hit the scandal-plagued royal over the Jeffrey Epstein affair. “Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,”Read More

The move by King Charles follows revelations about Andrew's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

King Charles has formally begun the process of stripping his younger brother, Prince Andrew, of all royal titles, honours, and styles, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday. The move also includes an order for Andrew to vacate his Windsor residence, Royal Lodge, marking the most decisive step yet in distancing the monarchy from the scandal surrounding his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

No one is bigger than the monarchy. As details of Andrew’s links to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continued to dribble out and Parliament raised questions about his rent-free residence at a sprawling country house near Windsor Castle, King Charles III moved Thursday to shield the monarchy from any further revelations. From now on, the scandal-plagued British royal will be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
