The late Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong> <\/a>would have had a lot of feelings on the ongoing drama surrounding son Andrew Mountbatten Windsor<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a Greek tragedy; he\u2019s been stripped of everything and humiliated,\u201d royal author Phil Dampier<\/strong> told Hello! Magazine<\/em> <\/a>in an article published Tuesday, November 4. \u201cThe poor late queen would be absolutely heartbroken to see what\u2019s happened to the son who was often referred to as her favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dampier, who has been writing about the royal family for more than two decades, said it was \u201c a total shock\u201d when news broke that Andrew had been stripped of his prince title.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very extreme measure,\u201d he added. \u201cThis situation is totally unprecedented and an extraordinary fall from grace for somebody who, when he was born, was second in line to the throne and returned from the Falklands a war hero.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPrincess Anne has had enough of scandal-ridden Prince Andrew as the fallout from his longstanding relationship with the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein continues. \u201cAnne has long sided with the King,\u201d Christopher Andersen, royal expert and author of Brothers and Wives, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, October 17. \u201cShe is as fed up with [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

King Charles III<\/strong> announced on Thursday, October 30, that he began the formal process<\/a> to strip brother Andrew of his title and evicted the former Duke of York from his home at Royal Lodge in Windsor.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,\u201d a statement from Buckingham Palace read at the time. \u201cHis lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement noted that \u201cformal notice\u201d was presented to Andrew, who \u201cwill move to alternative private accommodation.\u201d Us<\/em> understands he will be relocating to Charles\u2019 Sandringham Estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,\u201d the statement added. \u201cTheir Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles\u2019 decision came after Andrew continued to make headlines for his connection to late billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong>. In 2019, the late Virginia Giuffre alleged that she had a sexual encounter with Andrew in 2001 when she was underage. Giuffre claimed that she and Andrew had crossed paths through Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAndrew Mountbatten Windsor has officially been stripped of his \u201cprince\u201d title as he continues to make headlines for his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Buckingham Palace announced in October 2025 that King Charles III had officially started the \u201cformal\u201d process to remove his brother\u2019s \u201cstyle, titles and honors\u201d amid the fallout from his sexual assault scandal. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Andrew has continued to deny all of Giuffre\u2019s allegations against him. She sued Andrew for sexual abuse in 2021, and they settled out of court the following year. Giuffre died by suicide<\/a> at age 41 this past April. Her memoir, Nobody\u2019s Girl<\/em><\/a>, was published posthumously last month and detailed more allegations against Andrew and Epstein.<\/p>\n
