The Sun's front page reported that King Charles III is stripping his notorious brother, Prince Andrew, of his remaining titles and expelling him from royal residences, following weeks of public pressure urging action over Prince Andrew's relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Thursday, Buckingham Palace stated that the king has "initiated formal procedures to remove Prince Andrew's title, honors, and titles." Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, no longer referred to as a prince, and will move out of the Royal Lodge residence into a "private residence."
Following Prince Andrew's earlier decision to renounce his title of Duke of York due to his friendship with Epstein and allegations in the lawsuit involving one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, calls for the palace to expel him from the Royal Lodge have grown. However, the king's move goes further, stripping him of the royal title he has held since birth as a son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The palace said: "Although he continues to deny the allegations against him, we believe these condemnations are necessary. The King wishes to make it clear that his thoughts and deepest sympathy have always been, and will continue to be, with any and all victims and survivors of abuse."
