Andrew spent decades in public life as a war hero and prince, but has since suffered a major fall from grace.
The King’s younger brother had a 22-year career in the Royal Navy, and served as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War.
He also commanded the mine countermeasures vessel HMS Cottesmore.
This week, he lost his last remaining royal titles and privileges following months of pressure over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has always denied wrongdoing.
Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, royal author and journalist Valentine Low said this latest move, to lose his final military title, will be a “blow” to Andrew.
“Royals, and particularly Andrew, are very proud and determined to hang onto military titles,” he said.
“It seems the King is intent on taking absolutely everything away from his brother. It’s a flinty eyed ruthlessness he’s displaying.”
