She will now only be known as Sarah Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">The couple\u2019s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will keep their titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">King Charles is said to have been very keen to protect his nieces, who remain Her Royal Highnesses as granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">On Friday, royal commentator Russell Myers appeared on Sunrise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cAndrew will be given a residence on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk. He\u2019s been banished from Windsor,\u201d Myers said, explaining the new developments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cSarah Ferguson, we understand, was asking for a royal residence as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cI\u2019m told she will no longer have any residence within Windsor. She will have to fend for herself. It\u2019s very, very much that Andrew and Fergie have been exiled from this affair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">Myers went on to say \u201cpeople power\u201d had played a huge role in the decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cNot only did we have MPs standing up in Parliament saying that they were going to explore ways of potentially stripping Andrew from his titles but the King being heckled on a public engagement on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cI think it really had shifted the focus in Buckingham Palace. They really couldn\u2019t have this being discussed so openly anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cI think what the palace should have really done is act very swiftly when they knew this was the only inevitable scenario for Andrew. He has behaved absolutely disgracefully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cHe has taken all the good work and all the talk from the good work that the royal family are doing on a daily basis. And it\u2019s a very, very sorry end for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">Myers said Prince William also had a hand in the decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cI\u2019m told certainly William has always had an eye on the future and of course, he is a future king,\u201d Myers said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cHis family of course, the line of succession, he needs to make sure that the royal family is fit for the modern day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">\u201cCertainly, they are answerable to the people as we\u2019ve seen in the last few days. William has had considerable influence over the King in this whole process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"css-6fiqrm-StyledLinkWrapper e1y7kr221\" href=\"https:\/\/7news.com.au\/news\/king-charles-strips-andrew-of-royal-titles-and-ejects-disgraced-brother-from-royal-residence-c-20528479\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Virginia Giuffre\u2019s family claims \u2018victory\u2019 as Charles strips Andrew of royal titles<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-xp0jgm-StyledTimeToRead e1y7kr223\">3 min read<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"css-6fiqrm-StyledLinkWrapper e1y7kr221\" href=\"https:\/\/7news.com.au\/news\/warning-over-reflective-uv-after-baby-suffers-second-degree-burns--c-20525323\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Hidden danger leaves 10-week-old baby in hospital with major burns<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-xp0jgm-StyledTimeToRead e1y7kr223\">1 min read<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Ferguson, formerly known as the Duchess of York, will no longer have a royal residence and will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,43,139,69,78864,18318,3164,34561],"class_list":["post-109940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on-the-show","tag-prince-andrew","tag-royal-family","tag-sunrise"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
