King Charles III Strips Prince Andrew of Royal Titles Amid Epstein Scandal Fallout
London, UK – November 7, 2025 – In a decisive move, King Charles III has formally removed the title of “Prince” and the designation “His Royal Highness” from his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, effective November 3, 2025. The King issued a Letters Patent, a formal document under the Great Seal of the Realm, to implement the change, as announced in the official public record, The Gazette, on Wednesday.
This action comes amidst mounting public pressure stemming from Prince Andrew’s long-standing friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and renewed attention to sexual abuse allegations made by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims who recently passed away. Giuffre alleged she was trafficked and abused by Epstein and Andrew in the early 2000s. Andrew has consistently denied the allegations.
In addition to the title stripping, Prince Andrew is being forced to vacate his residence at the Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion near Windsor Castle, and relocate to a smaller property on the King’s Sandringham Estate.
“The King has been clear that this action is necessary to protect the integrity of the monarchy,” said a source close to the palace. The decision has been welcomed by the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Democrats on a U.S. congressional committee investigating Epstein’s sex trafficking have sent Prince Andrew a formal letter requesting an interview. The committee hopes to gain information regarding Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers. The letter, sent on Thursday, requests a response by November 20 but does not compel Andrew’s cooperation.
