As the fallout from the latest round of revelations about Prince Andrew's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues, the disgraced royal has lost his royal honors and titles—including his "Prince" title, which Buckingham Palace declared very publicly in a release on Thursday, October 30, announcing that King Charles had "initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," who "will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor"—and his longtime royal residence, Royal Lodge, the 30-room Windsor mansion he's lived in since 2003, which he is being evicted from, according to the Palace.
Even though the King's decision to strip Andrew of his titles and not permitting him to continue living in a property owned by the Crown Estate is a move that firmly distances the scandal-laden former prince from the monarchy going forward, some irreparable damage to the royal family's legacy has clearly already been done.
