King Charles delivers final crushing blow to disgraced former Prince Andrew

King Charles III has officially stripped his disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his princely title.

Charles issued 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 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,” the entry read.

It comes just a week after the Palace announced that the 65-year-old would no longer be a Prince and would be moving out of his mansion called Royal Lodge on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” Buckingham Palace told Page Six in a statement last week.

“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”

The statement continued, “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

“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,” it concluded.

Mountbatten Windsor’s former wife, Sarah Ferguson, who also lived in Royal Lodge, will be banished and lose her title of the Duchess of York.

However, their children, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will not lose their titles.

They were both spotted out of the country – Beatrice, 37, in Saudi Arabia, and Eugenie, 35, in Paris, just ahead of the shocking announcement regarding their parents’ title change.

Andrew’s fall from grace comes on the heels of the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice.”

Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, had long claimed she had been sex trafficked by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

She alleged she had been forced to sleep with the former Prince on two separate occasions.

Andrew has long denied the charges, but made an out-of-court settlement payment in 2012, reportedly in the millions.

Epstein died by suicide in 2009, aged 66.

Andrew gave a disastrous interview in 2019, in which he denied ever meeting Giuffre and expressed no regret for befriending Epstein.
