Once a Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is now firmly on the path from royal status to ordinary citizen.
The former Duke has been erased from the official Royal Family website, a stark digital reflection of his fall from grace.
The move comes amid months of intense scrutiny over Andrew’s links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, forcing King Charles to take unprecedented action against his own brother.
Now, when Andrew’s name is typed into the site’s search bar, it yields nothing but a clear signal that the Palace is severing public ties.
Buckingham Palace confirmed in a sensational statement that Andrew would not only lose his royal titles but also vacate Royal Lodge at Windsor Castle.
Rumours continue to swirl about the former prince’s Epstein connections, with the Palace emphasizing that his removal is part of a wider response to ongoing concerns about his conduct.
According to the Mail, he emailed convicted paedophile, we are in this together” just one day after the notorious photograph of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre emerged.
Further emails suggest Andrew told Epstein it would be “good to catch up in person” only months after the child sex offender was released, raising new eyebrows over the former royal’s associations.
The 65 year old former prince, whose lease on Royal Lodge provided him temporary legal protection, will now have to surrender the mansion and step out of royal life.
Trade Minister Sir Chris Bryant described Andrew as “an ordinary member of the public” and suggested he travel to the US to answer lingering questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, the family of Virginia Giuffre hailed her as “an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family” who “brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage.”
