Former Prince Andrew "Thought It Was His Birthright" to Keep His Title, But King Charles Has Proven Him Wrong, Says Royal Journalist

King Charles made an unprecedented decision on Thursday, October 30 by announcing that his brother, Prince Andrew, would be stripped of all his titles and will no longer be a prince. The former Duke of York will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor—a move that many, including Andrew himself, never saw coming.

Andrew—who has also been given notice to move out of his home, Royal Lodge—is understood to have not objected to the proceedings following his disastrous association with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking on Friday, October 31, GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker noted that it was "a fall from grace" for the former Duke of York.
