King Charles’s attempt to rebrand his disgraced brother, Andrew, might not be going exactly as planned. After the King stripped the former Duke of York of his titles and honors, the palace announced he would simply be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, living a low-profile life on the Sandringham estate. But now, insiders say the late Queen Elizabeth’s 1960 Privy Council declaration is coming into play—and it could once again change how Andrew’s name is styled.
The former prince will soon move out of Royal Lodge and start his new life in Sandringham, but before that happens, the issue of his name change remains unresolved. When Queen Elizabeth originally created the family last name of Mountbatten-Windsor, it included a hyphen, combining Prince Philip's Mountbatten name with the Windsor dynasty. However, Buckingham Palace's announcement about Andrew's new name included no such hyphen.
