THE GUARDIAN: Mountbatten Windsor is no longer entitled to use the terms and has been erased from roll of peerage
King Charles has officially stripped the former Duke of York, now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of his HRH style and his prince title.
Charles formally made the changes, which were announced a week ago, by issuing a letters patent under the great seal of the realm, which the crown office published in the Gazette, the UK’s official public record.
The entry, published on Wednesday, read: “The king has been pleased by letters patent under the great seal of the realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘royal highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘prince’.” » | Caroline Davies | Thursday, November 6, 2025
