King Charles took a bold step when he decided to strip his younger brother of his prince title. He surely knew that removing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor\u2019s title was something his mother would never have done. After all, the former Prince Andrew was always known to be Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s spoiled favorite child.<\/p>\n

On October 30, Buckingham Palace released a statement<\/a> announcing that Andrew\u2019s \u201cstyle, titles and honors\u201d would be removed, active immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cFormal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis must have been a painful decision for the King,\u201d royal author\u00a0Christopher Andersen\u00a0told\u00a0Us Weekly<\/a>. \u201cCharles must know how much booting Andrew out of the royal family would have hurt his mother, the late queen. I can\u2019t imagine Elizabeth II would have ever gone this far \u2014 not ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, according to Christopher, there was \u201ca lot of tension\u201d\u00a0within the family over the living arrangement. Andrew and his ex-wife\u00a0Sarah Ferguson\u00a0had lived in Royal Lodge rent free for 22 years. As part of his \u201cpeppercorn\u201d lease<\/a>, they would have been allowed them to stay until 2078. But pressure for them to move had been building, especially from Prince William, the future king<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following yesterday\u2019s announcement, the royal family is eager to get both Andrew and Sarah out of the royal compound. Charles has offered his brother his own Sandringham Estate. He will also allow Sarah to stay, if she wishes.<\/p>\n

First accused of sexual assault in 2019, Andrew continues to deny the allegations. Virginia Giuffre claimed that she was forced into a sexual relationship with him in 2001, when she was only 17.<\/p>\n

In 2022 Andrew settled out of court when Virginia sued him for sexual abuse. Nobody\u2019s Girl was released earlier this month and details her relationship with Andrew, as well as convicted pedofile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the years since, I\u2019ve thought a lot about how he behaved,\u201d she wrote. \u201cHe was \u2026 entitled \u2014 as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
