Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0report,\u00a0Prince Andrew\u00a0is still legally entitled to use the title Duke of York, despite having been stripped of the styles \u201cPrince\u201d and \u201cHis Royal Highness\u201d late last year. While the move by\u00a0King Charles III was widely viewed as a decisive step to distance the monarchy from his brother, experts claim the Duke of York peerage remains intact.<\/p>\nThe distinction matters because royal styles and peerage titles operate under different rules. Although Buckingham Palace confirmed that Andrew was removed from the official roll of the peerage, peerage experts argue that this does not automatically revoke the title itself. Michael Rhodes, editor of\u00a0Peerage News\u00a0and a recognized authority on the subject, claims that removing a peerage requires an Act of Parliament, not just royal authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s quite clear that Andrew\u2019s removal from the Roll was done to deceive and bamboozle the public,\u201d Rhodes told the\u00a0Daily Mail. He added that Andrew is and will remain Duke of York \u201cuntil his death \u2014 or until an Act of Parliament is brought before parliament.\u201d Rhodes also pointed out that many peers who are not listed on the official roll still legitimately use their titles, citing several historical examples.<\/p>\n
If accurate, the claim means Andrew could still style himself as Duke of York on personal correspondence. He could also retain a modified coat of arms and potentially use the title in private or overseas settings. Rhodes suggested that while the title may now be largely symbolic at home, it could still carry social significance abroad.<\/p>\n
So far, Buckingham Palace has not publicly challenged the legal interpretation outlined in the report. Without parliamentary action, experts suggest the title remains beyond the reach of royal decree alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
