King Charles's move to 'protect' nieces Eugenie and Beatrice as they retain titles following Prince Andrew's statement

Composite of a picture of King Charles in 2025 and a picture of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice together in 2023.

King Charles might not have addressed his brother's statement directly since it was released, but he's said to have played a key role in the "discussion" which led to Prince Andrew's decision to give up his Duke of York title. The Prince will also no longer be a member of Britain's oldest and most senior chivalric order, the Order of the Garter.

He continues to "vigorously deny" the accusations made against him linked to his past associations with Jeffrey Epstein, though it was concluded that they were distracting from the Royal Family's work. Prince Andrew's choice means that he is voluntarily not using his York title, though it would take an act of parliament to strip it officially.
