“And Andrew says he can only become a prince again if he gets a kiss from a young princess,” he joked, referencing the allegations that Andrew sexually assaulted young women as part of his alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
King Charles officially announced that Andrew would be stripped of his titles and honors and started the eviction process from Andrew’s royal lodging earlier this week.
The title removal applies to Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and “His Royal Highness.” The honors affected include his Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order.
Andrew, 65, will now be referred to as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
As for his living arrangements, Page Six was told that Andrew will be relocating to a property on the private Sandringham estate.
His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson — who has lived with Andrew in his royal lodging since 2008 — will be making her own separate arrangements. She has also lost her title as Duchess of York.
The former couple’s children, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will retain their royal titles despite their parents’ scandal.
The official removal was prompted by a renewed interest into Andrew’s involvement with Epstein, who died in August 2019 after he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors.
Prior to Charles’ announcement, Andrew previously agreed to no longer use his royal titles due to the continued speculation, saying in a statement that the “continued accusations” against him “distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal family.”
One of Andrew’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, sued Andrew for sexual assault in 2021, claiming he allegedly raped her when she was a teenager as part of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
While Andrew denied Giuffre’s allegations, she and Andrew settled the case out of court the following year.
Before Queen Elizabeth II’s 2022 death, she stripped son Andrew’s military titles and patronages.
