Andrew stripped of 'prince' title and will move out of Royal Lodge | BBC News

Andrew will lose his title and move out of Royal Lodge, a statement from Buckingham Palace has said.

Buckingham Palace says the King "has today initiated a formal process", and his brother will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

As well as the title, the Palace says "formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease" on Royal Lodge, and Andrew will move to the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the Palace said.

Andrew gave up his other royal titles earlier this month after more questions about his private life. In a posthumous memoir, Virginia Giuffre repeated allegations that, as a teenager, she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions. Andrew has always denied the claims.

Also this month, emails from 2011 re-emerged, showing Andrew in contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein months after he claimed their friendship ended.
