Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s prince title and HRH style have been formally removed by the King.<\/p>\n

Details of the Letters Patent have been published by the Crown Office in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record.<\/p>\n

The entry read: “THE KING<\/a><\/strong> has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor<\/a><\/strong> shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince’.”<\/p>\n

Letters patent are a type of legal document and an “open letter” which expresses the will of the Monarch, usually on ministerial advice.<\/p>\n

Charles’s decision to effectively banish Andrew from the monarchy and strip him of all his titles<\/a><\/strong>, removing his birthright to be a prince as well as his dukedom, followed growing controversy over his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He stepped down from public duties in 2019 after his disastrous Newsnight interview about his friendship with Epstein.<\/p>\n

But pressure had also been growing on the palace after renewed attention on sexual abuse allegations by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre<\/a><\/strong>, whose posthumous memoir was published last month.<\/p>\n

More on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

While Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing, Ms Giuffre sued him in 2021 and the case was settled outside of court for a sum believed to have been around \u00a312m.<\/p>\n

Andrew recently announced he would no longer use his royal titles<\/a><\/strong>, but his brother vowed to go further after new allegations emerged.<\/p>\n

They included details about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein<\/a><\/strong> and reports he asked a royal close protection officer to “dig up dirt” on Virginia Giuffre<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A notice has also been served for Andrew to surrender his lease at Royal Lodge, the substantial property in Windsor where he has been paying a “peppercorn rent”.<\/p>\n

He will now move to private accommodation in Sandringham, Norfolk.<\/p>\n
