Prince Andrew will lose his “prince” title and move out of the royal lodge in the palace’s final step against the disgraced royal.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” a statement from the palace says, according to BBC.
It’s understood Andrew will move to a property on the royals’ Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which the King will privately fund, the BBC reports.
