The move came amid renewed public anger over Andrew\u2019s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the release of a posthumous memoir by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n<p>Giuffre\u2019s family, still mourning her death earlier this year, welcomed the King\u2019s decision. She had accused Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager trapped in Epstein\u2019s trafficking network in the early 2000s, allegations Andrew has repeatedly denied. Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019, in what officials ruled a suicide.<\/p>\n<h3>FORCED TO RELOCATE<\/h3>\n<p>Andrew, 65, is now expected to vacate his 30-room Windsor residence, his home for over two decades, and relocate to a smaller property on the King\u2019s Sandringham Estate in eastern England. The relocation will reportedly be funded by the monarch.<\/p>\n<p>The formal removal of his titles marks the most severe public censure faced by the late Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s second son, whose royal duties have been suspended since 2019.<\/p>\n<h3>US LAWMAKERS SEEK TESTIMONY<\/h3>\n<p>In a new development, members of a US congressional committee investigating Epstein\u2019s sex-trafficking network have written to Andrew, seeking his cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell-documented allegations against you, along with your long-standing friendship with Mr. Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation,\u201d the lawmakers stated in their letter.<\/p>\n<p>The committee has requested a response by November 20, though Andrew is not legally compelled to comply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ends<\/p>\n<div class=\"authors__container\">\n<div class=\"authors__by\">\n<p>Published By: <\/p>\n<p>Akshat Trivedi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"published__on\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Nov 7, 2025<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.indiatoday.in \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King Charles III has formally stripped his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of all royal titles, marking a decisive end to one of the British monarchy\u2019s most controversial chapters.
