Here’s what’s next for Prince Andrew after relinquishing his royal titles. Following the shocking update that the royal would surrender his Duke of York title on October 17th, we’re learning more about what happens next. Turns out there is one title that Andrew can keep. As royal expert Sharon Carpenter exclusively tells E! News, he will keep his title of prince, which was given to him at birth by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. And while he won’t continue to be known as the Duke of York, Carpenter clarifies that he’s still a Duke legally. Explaining for Andrew to be officially stripped of his dupdom before his death, it would require statutory action, meaning a vote by Parliament. In addition to his royal monikers, Prince Andrew will likely keep his royal home he’s shared for almost two decades with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. and his daughters, Princess Beatatrice and Princess Eugenie, will continue to hold their official titles, her Royal Highness Princess. However, Carpenter reveals the stripping of his titles marks the nail in the coffin and closes the door permanently on any hopes to return to royal life. Carpenter predicts that his personal relationships with his family members are likely more strained than ever, and the king wants to create as much distance as possible between the monarchy and the disgraced prince. The 65-year-old is unlikely to join the royal family at any official outings and will be considered a private individual who happens to have royal lineage. On October 17th, in a statement released by Buckingham Palace, Andrew revealed he was relinquishing his royal titles amid scrutiny into his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein. He noted, “I stand by my decision 5 years ago to stand back from public life. With his majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my titles or the honors which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.
