In the wake of the continuing backlash and public outrage following the latest round of revelations about Prince Andrew's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles decided to take the unprecedented step of formally stripping his brother of his "Prince" title.
Buckingham Palace announced the decision in a release on Thursday, October 30 that explained that the King has evicted Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge and "initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew" and that the former Duke of York "will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."
