"Buckingham Palace said Andrew was given notice to leave the 30-room mansion and he will in future be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, effectively living as a commoner. It comes after weeks of intense pressure as his brother's links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein continue to embarrass the monarchy. It is understood that although Andrew denies all Epstein accusations, Buckingham Palace considers that there have been "serious lapses of judgement"."
"But despite the unprecedented action Andrew Lownie, author of the 2025 Andrew biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, has he doesn't think "it's the end of it". The royal expert said the Royal Family were "finally getting ahead of the story" but added: "I don't think it's the end of it, I think there are many more disclosures to come, but at least they're taking some decisive action. So, I don't think it's all over for him.""
King Charles ordered the removal of all remaining titles from Prince Andrew and issued notice for him to leave the 30-room Royal Lodge. Andrew will in future be styled Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and will effectively live as a commoner. The move follows intense pressure over Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein and ongoing accusations that Andrew denies, while Buckingham Palace cited "serious lapses of judgement." Royal commentator Andrew Lownie said more disclosures are likely and suggested police could investigate. MPs are seeking answers about the peppercorn rent paid for the residence.
