Britain\u2019s King Charles arrives for a church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church, on the Sandringham Estate, where Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, younger brother of Britain\u2019s King Charles, will move, following the king\u2019s decision to strip him of his title of prince and evict him from his Windsor residence, in Norfolk, Britain.<\/p>\n

LONDON >> Britain\u2019s former prince Andrew is due to be stripped of his last remaining military position as part of King Charles\u2019 decision to remove his brother from public life, the defense minister said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

John Healey told BBC television that moves were underway to take away Andrew\u2019s position as a vice admiral in the British navy and that Charles had \u201cindicated that\u2019s what he wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The king last week stripped his younger brother of his title of prince and evicted him from his mansion in a bid to prevent further damage to the royal family\u2019s reputation over Andrew\u2019s ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a move that\u2019s right, it\u2019s a move the king has indicated we should take and we\u2019re working on that at the moment,\u201d Healey said.<\/p>\n

Andrew kept his rank as a vice admiral in 2022 when he gave up his other military positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"REUTERS\/CHRIS RADBURN Britain\u2019s King Charles arrives for a church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church, on the Sandringham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453,965],"class_list":{"0":"post-267919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topstories","14":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
