Prince Andrew stripped of ‘prince’ title by his brother King Charles after giving up Duke of York…
Virginia Roberts Jafrey’s postumous memoir was due to be released on October 21st, basically rehashing all of the allegations that she’s made against Andrew and including a few more. So, in an apparent attempt to get ahead of this, Andrew announced that he has relinquished all of his royal titles. And now we know that actually includes his title of prince. According to BBC, Buckingham Palace just released a statement saying that the king has quote initiated a formal process to remove the style titles and honors of Prince Andrew. So along with now being known as Andrew Monbatton Windsor, this change also includes his other honors. He was bestowed the title of Duke of York. His wife or now former wife Sarah Ferguson was the Duchess of York when they were married. She actually continued to use the title even after their divorce, but that’s now a thing of the past because he is no longer the Duke of York. He has given up that title along with several very prestigious military honors that he earned during his past career. Charles was kind of like, look, the royal family’s reputation is difficult enough to maintain as it is. We need to to kind of take an even stricter view as far as Andrew is concerned. Charles also was very open about his kind of desire to slim down the monarchy, right, as far as those official roles were concerned. So Andrew’s position within the royal family was kind of already on the chopping block. Add to that the horrifying, you know, Virginia Roberts accusations and it was kind of a sensible decision, I think, just to be like a little more distance, a little more separation of family. So Charles has been trying to convince Andrew to move out of Royal Lodge for several years now. The baseline is Andrew and Fergie are moving out and goodness knows who will move in. But hopefully it’s someone who has a little bit more than a pound a month to afford for rent.
King Charles has stripped Prince Andrew of his “prince” title and he is moving out of his Royal Lodge home amid the ongoing scandal regarding his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Royal Expert Charlie Lankston and Page Six Supervising Producer Ashlee McGeehan are breaking it all down in the clip!
