IHe turns into a easy mortal once more. Already stripped of his title of Duke of York, Andrew will say goodbye to that of “prince” and must depart his Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor, Buckingham introduced this Thursday, October 30. “Prince Andrew will henceforth be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. »
“These sanctions are considered necessary,” the statement said, “even if he continues to deny the accusations against him. Their Majesties would like to make it clear that their thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the victims and survivors of all forms of abuse.” A reference to the Epstein scandal, in which Andrew has been entangled for more than 20 years.
Sex trafficking charge
The friendship between Andrew and Epstein in the early 2000s was widely documented on camera. It was in 2015 that Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s first victims, filed a complaint in Florida. At the time, the young woman – who ended her life in April 2025 – claimed to have been forced by the pedophile and his tout Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with several men. Including Prince Andrew, in 2001, when she was 17 years old.

A “medical problem” linked, according to him, to an adrenaline rush during the Falklands War. The British tabloids are having a field day. THE Sun publishes photos of “7 Times Prince Andrew Sweated While Partying” – including one in July 2000, where “Randy Andy” (Hot Andy) is seen leaving a club with halos under his arms.
The fall
Andrew withdraws, but infamy pursues him. Pursued in New York in civil court by Virginia Giuffre, he reached an amicable agreement in February 2022, without admitting guilt. According to the Telegraphhe would have paid him 12 million pounds to avoid a trial. Before dying, Elizabeth II stripped him of his military and civil representative functions as well as his dignity as Royal Highness.

Cornered, Andrew tried to take the lead two weeks in the past, renouncing his title of Duke of York and Knight of the Garter. Not sufficient to fulfill the demonstrators who proceed to collect in entrance of Windsor and demand an official investigation by brandishing “end royal secrecy” indicators.
Now disadvantaged of his title of “prince”, Andrew is not going to be on the streets: based on the BBC, he’ll pack his luggage for Sandringham Castle, the personal property of King Charles III.
