Andrew has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Stripping of titles and future plans
In mid-October, Andrew issued a statement announcing he would voluntarily stop using his titles. Yet only weeks later, Buckingham Palace confirmed the King had already begun formal proceedings to fully remove all royal titles and HRH styling from his brother, a decision reportedly made after Andrew crossed what insiders described as “the ultimate act of disrespect” toward the Queen.
On November 3, the changes were made official through Letters Patent.
On November 17, Andrew was seen riding a horse on the grounds of Windsor Castle — his first public appearance since the announcement. The sighting indicated that he had not yet left Royal Lodge, the 30-bedroom property where he has lived for 20 years. However, the palace confirmed he will relocate to the family’s Sandringham estate “as soon as possible and practicable.”
