Prince Andrew has been stripped of his “prince” title and is forcibly moving out of his Royal Lodge home amid the ongoing scandal regarding his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” Buckingham Palace told Page Six in a statement Thursday.
“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”
The statement continued, “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
According to BBC News, Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will retain their titles.
