Andrew is understood not to have objected to the King’s decision to remove his titles – and it will take place with immediate effect.
His birth certificate will not need to be changed as the title change will not apply respectively.
The titles being stripped are: Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh. And he will no longer have the right to be called His Royal Highness. The honours of Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order will also be removed.
To remove the titles, the King will send Royal warrants to the Lord Chancellor – who is David Lammy – to officially remove them.
It comes just weeks after Andrew voluntary gave up his other royal titles, including the Duke of York.
On 17 October, Andrew said he would stop using the titles because the “continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family”. “I vigorously deny the accusations against me,” he said.
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice will retain their titles, as they are the daughters of the son of a Sovereign. This is in line with King George V’s Letters Patent of 1917.
Until this month, Ferguson kept the title Sarah, Duchess of York – but she reverted to her maiden name of Ferguson after Andrew was stripped of his Duke of York title.
Andrew still remains eighth in line to the throne.
