After Andrew Loses Titles, What Changes for Sarah and the Princesses

The King has initiated "a formal process" to remove his titles, and Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

65-year-old Andrew – the King's younger brother – has faced constant questions about his personal life in recent months.

His ties to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein have caused problems for the royal family. The prince, who relinquished his titles this month, has always denied any wrongdoing.

This dramatic downgrade has affected not only him, but also his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their children, Beatrice and Eugenie.

What did Buckingham Palace say?

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Thursday evening.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

It also addressed the place where he lives, Royal Lodge.

"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. 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."
