Prince Andrew Stripped of Royal Titles and Evicted from Royal Lodge

Royal Titles Revoked

• 👑 Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles, including Duke of York and Prince.
• 👤 He will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, a significant demotion from his former royal style.
• 🏛️ This action was taken by King Charles III through the Lord Chancellor, bypassing a parliamentary act to save time.

Departure from Royal Lodge

Reasons for the Action

Impact on Sarah Ferguson and Daughters

• 👧 Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will retain their titles as Princesses, as their titles are set by letters patent from 1917 and are not affected by this action.
• 😥 The situation has been extremely difficult for the princesses, witnessing their parents embroiled in scandal.
