LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 16, 2025: William, Prince of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince Andrew, Duke of York attend Requiem Mass service at Westminster Cathedral for the Duchess of Kent who died aged 92 earlier this month in London, United Kingdom on September 16, 2025. The service was the first Catholic funeral held for a member of the Royal Family in modern British history. (Photo credit should read Wiktor Szymanowicz/Future Publishing via Getty Images).

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."
