It is the end of the road for Prince Andrew. In a decision both symbolic and final, the King has stripped his younger brother of the titles that once defined him\u2014Prince,\u00a0Duke of York, and the right to be styled\u00a0His Royal Highness. From now on, he will be known simply as\u00a0Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.<\/p>\n
