King Charles Chooses Firm over Family as He Strips Andrew's Titles

Oct 31, 2025 | “The main thing they’re worried about is us, the great British public thinking where is all this money coming from.”

King Charles’s main concern is the British public's opinion of Andrew as they fund the royal family, says historian AN Wilson.

Not in This Together: King Charles Cuts Andrew Loose to Save Royal Family’s Repute

THE GUARDIAN: Jettisoning of ex-prince became unavoidable when king’s loyalty to his brother collided with task of keeping public on side

To strip his brother of his titles and to evict him from his home is the most consequential action King Charles has taken since he ascended the throne in 2022.

The defenestration of Prince Andrew, now to be known only as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and the removal of his cherished privilege of royal status is an act of utmost ruthlessness by a king. Ascending the throne at 73, Charles always knew he would play a caretaker role for the monarchy and so could not allow rot to set into an institution that lives and dies by public consent.

The damage that Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell continued to inflict on the reputation of the royal family was simply too much for the king not to act as he did on Thursday evening. Charles has been described by his biographer Catherine Mayer as “loyal to a fault. Sometimes to the point of fault,” but this was too much. » | Robert Booth | Thursday, October 30, 2025

Andrew Stripped of 'Prince' Title and Will Move Out of Royal Lodge | BBC News

Oct 30, 2025 | Andrew will lose his title and move out of Royal Lodge, a statement from Buckingham Palace has said. Buckingham Palace says the King "has today initiated a formal process", and his brother will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

As well as the title, the Palace says "formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease" on Royal Lodge, and Andrew will move to the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the Palace said.

Andrew gave up his other royal titles earlier this month after more questions about his private life.

In a posthumous memoir, Virginia Giuffre repeated allegations that, as a teenager, she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions. Andrew has always denied the claims.

Also this month, emails from 2011 re-emerged, showing Andrew in contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein months after he claimed their friendship ended.

Le prince Andrew était-il le fils préféré de la reine Elizabeth II ?

MADAME FIGARO : Troisième enfant de la reine Elizabeth, le prince Andrew a toujours été considéré comme son préféré, à tel point que la souveraine aurait fermé les yeux sur les scandales à l’origine de sa chute de son fils.

Au cœur des scandales depuis les révélations autour de l’affaire Epstein, le prince Andrew aurait longtemps bénéficié de la clémence de sa mère, la reine Elizabeth II. Il aurait même toujours été son fils préféré. Né en février 1960, alors que sa mère est sur le trône depuis 7 ans, le prince Andrew est celui de ses quatre enfants avec qui la souveraine elle aurait passé le plus de temps. Plus aguerrie à son quotidien de monarque, Elizabeth II a pu en effet s’investir davantage dans la vie de ses deux plus jeunes fils, le prince Andrew et le benjamin de la fratrie, le prince Edward, né en mars 1964. Contrairement au prince Charles et la princesse Anne, qui avaient respectivement quatre et deux ans au moment du couronnement de leur mère, en juin 1953. » | Par Louise Ginies | jeudi 30 octobre 2025
