After making the bombshell announcement that Prince Andrew would be stripped of all of his titles on Thursday, October 30, King Charles is leaning into a "more radical" era of his kingship, according to one royal expert. The monarch has formally removed his brother's prince title and evicted Andrew from his home, Royal Lodge, as of Thursday—a move that's been years in the making after the former Duke of York's association with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
University of Sydney cultural historian and monarchy expert Cindy McCreery tells Marie Claire that The King's power move shows he isn't afraid to make bold choices, even if the public might think he waited too long to do so.
