Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor confronted with new challenge amid ongoing controversy

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor yet again faces a fresh setback as DUP reportedly pushes to rename a road named after him to be changed.

A motion by the DUP calls on Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to start the official process to change the name Prince Andrew Way in Carrickfergus, which is located roughly 11 miles from Belfast.

"DUP team believe that the continued association of our town with Prince Andrew, through the naming of Prince Andrew Way, is no longer appropriate," a member of the Legislative Assembly of Northern Ireland, Cheryl Brownlee, took to social media to share the decision.

Continuing, "Recent events have brought significant disgrace upon Andrew and, by extension, have cast a shadow over the Royal Household."

"His actions and the circumstances surrounding them have caused deep embarrassment for the Royal Family. Carrickfergus has a proud history and strong community values. It is vital that the names of our streets reflect those values and do not commemorate individuals whose conduct has brought the Royal Family into disrepute."

According to Ms Brownlee, the move was not made "lightly," "but it is the right one to ensure Carrickfergus remains a place associated with dignity and respect."

A spokesperson for Mid and East Antrim Borough Council came forward and stated, "Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is aware of the statement issued by His Majesty in relation to the formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

"Any potential changes to street names within the borough would need to be brought before the council for consideration."

Residents in the area also expressed they felt embarrassed by association. Many households say they support the decision to remove any connection or association with the former Royal after his alleged ties with Jeffrey Epstein were spotlighted.

However, Andrew has denied those allegations with the Metropolitan Police ruling that sexual assault claims against him have insufficient evidence to warrant further investigation.
