King Charles III’s stripping of his brother Andrew’s titles has been formally published.<\/p>\n

The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, shows the taking away of Andrew’s titles as prince and Duke of York, which came into effect when it was announced last Thursday.<\/p>\n

The King made the changes following weeks of intense scrutiny over the former prince’s links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

The record shows that the dukedom was removed by a Royal Warrant and the status of prince by a legal instrument called Letters Patent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The entry published in The Gazette reads:<\/p>\n

“The King has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor 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

The Great Seal of the Realm refers to a wax seal, and is used by the Crown to show the monarch’s approval of important State documents.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace said last week that<\/a> Andrew would leave his Royal Lodge home in Windsor, as his links to Epstein continued to cause controversy.<\/p>\n

It was understood that he did not object to the King’s decision to remove his titles.<\/p>\n

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor – as he is now to be known – gave up his other royal titles in October, including the Duke of York, after more questions and allegations about his private life.<\/p>\n

At the start of this year, emails showed that he had stayed in contact <\/a>with Epstein for longer than he had previously admitted. <\/p>\n

In a posthumous memoir published last month, Virginia Giuffre – a prominent accuser of Epstein – repeated allegations that, as a teenager, she had sex with Andrew on three separate occasions. Andrew has always strenuously denied the claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
