King Charles stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his title of prince and forced him out of his Windsor home as the monarch sought to distance the royal family from him over his links to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Andrew, 65, the younger brother of Charles and second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, came under mounting pressure in recent years over his behaviour and his ties to the late sex offender Epstein. Before being stripped of the title of prince he was forced to stop using his title of Duke of York on October 17.
According to the British media reports on December 1, the younger brother of Andrew has also lost his remaining royal titles.
A notice posted in the London Gazette directed that Andrew's two remaining royal titles be cancelled.
The notice read:
"THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, dated 23 April 2006, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.
"THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, dated 19 February 2011, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order."
However, the statement issued by Buckingham Palace on October 30 announcing the king's decision to remove Andrew's title continues to be displayed prominently on the home page of the official website of the royal family.
Some observers noted that in normal circumstances, the statement would have been replaced to save further humiliation to Andrew, but it's presence on the website a month after it was issued shows the strong sentiment against the King's brother within the royal family who wanted to make sure the humiliation lasts online for a longer period of time.
