King Charles makes shocking move against Prince Andrew

Prince Andrew has been hit with a new rock in a shocking yet unprecedented move by his brother, King Charles.

In a statement announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday, October 30, the 65-year-old disgraced royal will no longer be referred to as a prince or His Royal Highness among other titles.

King Charles revealed that from now onwards, Andrew will be regarded simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as his last remaining title, “Prince,” has also been stripped of.

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

It added, "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

The 76-year-old monarch also issued formal notice to Andrew to surrender the Royal Lodge lease.

Buckingham Palace statement further revealed, "His ease 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,” it continued.

King Charles also noted that these strict actions taken against his brother are necessary, despite the fact " he continues to deny the allegations against him."

The Palace also highlighted renewed attention to allegations against Andrew after the death of one of his accusers earlier this year at age 41.

“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 statement further read.

For the unversed, Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, reiterated in her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, released on October 21, that Prince Andrew had sexual encounters with her on three occasions in the early 2000s, when she was under 18.

Giuffre first made allegations public in 2015, later filing a lawsuit against Andrew.

The case was settled out of court in 2022, with the disgraced former royal reportedly paying millions to the alleged victim.

This announcement comes shortly after Andrew surrendered his royal titles on October 17, amid controversy surrounding his association with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
