King Charles strips Prince Andrew of Royal Titles, Home

Frank Musa
The Britain’s King Charles has stripped his younger brother, Andrew of his title as Prince and forced him out of his Windsor home mansion.

The Buckingham Palace announced this via a public statement issued on Thursday, October 30, 2025.

Andrew, 65, the younger brother of Charles and second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has come under mounting pressure and criticism in recent years over his behaviour and ties to the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Earlier this month he was compelled to stop using his title as Duke of York.

Charles has now escalated his actions against Andrew by stripping him of all his titles, leaving him to be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

The Buckingham Palace said a formal notice had now been served on Andrew to surrender the lease of his Royal Lodge mansion on the Windsor Estate, west of London, and he will move to alternative private accommodation on the Sandringham estate in eastern England.

The rash decision by the king, who is still undergoing regular treatment for cancer, reportedly marks one of the most dramatic moves against a member of the royal family in modern British history.

The palace said: “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 could be recalled that Andrew was once regarded as a dashing naval officer and served in the military during the Falklands War with Argentina in the early 1980s.

He was forced to step down from a roving UK trade ambassador role in 2011, before quitting all royal duties in 2019.

He was further stripped of his military links and royal patronages in 2022 amid allegations of sexual misconduct that he has always denied.

That year, he settled a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, who died in April, which accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager.
