"Hours after the dramatic statement that King Charles had formally stripped his brother of all titles, including Duke of York, his HRH style and honours, Buckingham Palace said Andrew's name had been removed from the roll, a move that in effect ends his public life. The disgraced royal will move out of the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor and into private accommodation on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, with Charles making private financial provision for his brother going forward."
"Their daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, as daughters of the son of a sovereign, will retain their titles in line with King George V's letters patent of 1917. Andrew remains eighth in line of succession to the throne and a counsellor of state, but this role has previously been described as inactive as he was a non-working royal. The justice secretary, David Lammy, as lord chancellor, is responsible for maintaining the roll"
"Describing Andrew as now an ordinary member of the public, Bryant suggested he should go to the US to answer questions about the crimes of the late paedophile financier Epstein if asked. I think that just as with any ordinary member of the public, if there were requests from another jurisdiction of this kind, I would expect any decently minded person to comply with that request."
