In a historic and unprecedented move, King Charles III has stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of all remaining royal titles and ordered him to vacate his residence at Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle. The decision, announced Thursday by Buckingham Palace, comes after weeks of mounting public and media pressure surrounding Andrew’s controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Following the king’s decisive action, Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, losing his princely status and all associated honors. He will also forfeit the Duke of York title he recently relinquished amid new revelations about his longstanding friendship with Epstein and renewed allegations from Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Giuffre’s posthumous memoir has renewed global attention on the case, further intensifying calls for royal accountability.
Buckingham Palace emphasized that the decision was made despite Andrew’s continued denial of wrongdoing. “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,” the statement read. “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.”
King Charles Confronts the Controversy
Until recently, King Charles had largely stayed removed from the scandal. But public scrutiny intensified after a man heckled the king at Lichfield Cathedral, asking pointed questions about his knowledge of Andrew’s ties to Epstein. The incident, captured on video and widely circulated in the media, added further pressure for action.
Andrew’s removal from royal titles marks one of the most tremendous royal shifts since King Edward VIII abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson.

Once celebrated as a heroic figure for his Royal Navy service during the 1982 Falklands War, Andrew’s reputation has been marred over decades by controversial friendships, questionable business dealings and now the Epstein scandal. His departure from the royal fold signals both a personal fall and a dramatic shift in the British monarchy’s handling of scandal, underscoring King Charles’ determination to preserve the crown’s integrity.
