This evening in London, Buckingham Palace issued a statement announcing that His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom has “initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles, and honours of Prince Andrew.”
According to the Palace statement:
“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.”
This announcement marks the most decisive step yet in addressing Prince Andrew’s public standing within the Royal Family.
No further comment was provided by Buckingham Palace following the release of the statement.
