King Charles III has officially stripped his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of all royal titles, including the designation of "his royal highness." This decision was formalized on Wednesday through a Letters Patent, a legal document used by monarchs to grant or revoke titles. The announcement, published in The Gazette, the official public record of the U.K., stated, "THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of 'Royal Highness' and the titular dignity of 'Prince.'" Additionally, the title Duke of York has also been revoked. This action follows King Charles's announcement last week that he would initiate the process of removing all royal titles from Andrew, 65, due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Reports of Andrew's close ties to Epstein have intensified scrutiny, particularly after Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's accusers, detailed her allegations in her posthumously published memoir, "Nobody's Girl." As part of the changes, Andrew is required to vacate Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion near Windsor Castle, where he has lived for over 20 years. He is expected to relocate to a property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, approximately 200 kilometers north of London. This estate is owned by King Charles, who inherited it from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, after her death in September 2022. Buckingham Palace stated, "These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him." Andrew's situation has drawn significant attention, especially following Giuffre's tragic death earlier this year at the age of 41. In her memoir, she claimed she was trafficked as a teenager and forced to have sexual encounters with Andrew on three occasions. In light of these developments, Buckingham Palace expressed its support for victims of abuse, stating, "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." The king's decision has been met with approval from Giuffre's family, who have long sought accountability for those involved in Epstein's trafficking network. Andrew has consistently denied all allegations against him. Meanwhile, a U.S. congressional committee investigating Epstein's activities has reached out to Andrew, requesting a formal interview to gather information about Epstein's associates. The committee's letter highlighted the "well-documented allegations" against Andrew and requested a response by November 20, although it does not mandate his cooperation.
