The name Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mountbatten Windsor might sound regal, but it’s missing one word – “Prince”. Britain’s King Charles has begun the process of removing his brother Andrew’s royal titles. The former prince has also been told to vacate his royal residence. For months, pressure to act has been mounting on the King over Andrew’s links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The family of the late Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual abuse, welcomed the decision. They are now calling for an investigation into the former prince, though Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.

DW News: Could (Former) Prince Andrew Now Face Police Inquiries?
In this video, DW News covers the dramatic fall from grace of Prince Andrew, once a prominent member of the British royal family. The segment examines the ongoing fallout from the sexual assault allegations against him, particularly focusing on the recent developments that could lead to a police investigation. With new legal challenges and increasing public scrutiny, the video explores whether Prince Andrew might now face official police inquiries, despite previous settlements and denials.
The discussion touches on the broader implications for the royal family and public figures who are accused of serious misconduct. The video also delves into the legal and social consequences of the allegations, offering expert opinions on the likelihood of further legal action and what this could mean for the future of the British monarchy. With the case involving high-profile figures and public interest, the potential for future investigations remains a hot topic of debate.
DW News: Kan (voormalig) Prins Andrew nu geconfronteerd worden met politieonderzoeken?
In deze video behandelt DW News de dramatische val van prins Andrew, ooit een prominent lid van de Britse koninklijke familie. Het segment onderzoekt de voortdurende nasleep van de seksuele aanrandingsbeschuldigingen tegen hem, met speciale aandacht voor de recente ontwikkelingen die kunnen leiden tot een politieonderzoek. Met nieuwe juridische uitdagingen en toenemende publieke aandacht, wordt de vraag gesteld of prins Andrew nu mogelijk officieel met politieonderzoeken geconfronteerd kan worden, ondanks eerdere schikkingen en ontkenningen.
De discussie gaat ook in op de bredere implicaties voor de koninklijke familie en publieke figuren die beschuldigd worden van ernstig wangedrag. De video belicht de juridische en sociale gevolgen van de beschuldigingen, met deskundige meningen over de kans op verdere juridische stappen en wat dit zou kunnen betekenen voor de toekomst van de Britse monarchie. Aangezien de zaak hoge profielen en publieke belangstelling betreft, blijft de mogelijkheid van toekomstige onderzoeken een veelbesproken onderwerp.
The downfall of Prince Andrew marks a defining moment in the history of the British monarchy. Once celebrated as a member of the royal family, his loss of title serves as a stark reminder of the consequences when personal actions tarnish the credibility of the institution. Buckingham Palace has formally started the process of stripping Andrew of his royal titles, and he will now live as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. In addition to losing his titles, he will be required to vacate his residence, the Royal Lodge in Windsor, and relocate to a new private residence, reportedly on the Sandringham estate. This is seen as the final blow, a symbolic act in the monarchy’s effort to preserve its integrity amidst the growing scandal surrounding Andrew’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite Andrew’s continued denial of the accusations, including claims made by Virginia Giuffre, who alleges he had sex with her when she was 17, King Charles has made it clear that protecting the monarchy’s legacy and credibility is his highest priority. As the monarchy faces unprecedented challenges, King Charles’ actions underline the determination to maintain the institution’s dignity and legacy in the face of scandal.
De ondergang van prins Andrew markeert een bepalend moment in de geschiedenis van de Britse monarchie. Ooit gevierd als lid van de koninklijke familie, benadrukt zijn verlies van titel de gevolgen wanneer persoonlijke daden de geloofwaardigheid van de instelling aantasten. Buckingham Palace heeft officieel de procedure opgestart om Andrew zijn prinselijke titels af te nemen, en hij zal voortaan als Andrew Mountbatten Windsor verder door het leven gaan. Naast het verlies van zijn titels, zal hij ook het landhuis Royal Lodge in Windsor moeten verlaten en verhuizen naar een andere privéwoning, naar verluidt op het privélandgoed Sandringham. Dit wordt gezien als de laatste slag, een symbolische daad in de poging van de monarchie om haar integriteit te behouden te midden van het groeiende schandaal rondom Andrews banden met de veroordeelde zedendelinquent Jeffrey Epstein. Ondanks Andrews voortdurende ontkenning van de beschuldigingen, waaronder de verklaringen van Virginia Giuffre, die beweert dat hij seks met haar had toen zij 17 was, heeft koning Charles duidelijk gemaakt dat het beschermen van het erfgoed en de geloofwaardigheid van de monarchie zijn hoogste prioriteit heeft. Terwijl de monarchie ongekende uitdagingen tegemoet gaat, onderstrepen de acties van koning Charles de vastberadenheid om de waardigheid en het erfgoed van de instelling te behouden, ondanks het schandaal.

Once hailed as the Queen’s favorite son and a decorated war hero, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s fall from grace is one of the most shocking royal downfalls in modern history. In this video, we uncover how his arrogance, entitlement, and unchecked behavior were visible long before scandal struck.
Featuring explosive information from Andrew Lownie’s bestselling biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, this video exposes how the man once known as Prince Andrew bullied classmates at Gordonstoun, demanded respect with his infamous line “You do know who I am?”, and alienated nearly everyone around him. Former schoolmates describe him as smug, cruel, and obsessed with status—traits that would define his adult life.
We’ll also reveal disturbing insider accounts from palace staff who served him behind closed doors. From his obsession with perfectly arranged teddy bears to his explosive temper over trivial mistakes, former maids describe a man consumed by control and ego. According to Lownie’s sources, he expected staff to bow every time he entered a room and even reassigned aides for wearing the wrong tie or having a mole on their face.
The documentary then dives into the darker claims in Entitled: the early, secret connection with Jeffrey Epstein, allegations of shady financial deals, and accusations that Andrew exploited his royal position for personal gain. Lownie paints a portrait of a man addicted to privilege and blind to consequence—a royal who believed he was untouchable until the walls finally closed in.

Andrew stripped of ‘prince’ title and will move out of Royal Lodge | BBC News
30 okt 2025 #Royals #PrinceAndrew #BBCNews
Andrew will lose his title and move out of Royal Lodge, a statement from Buckingham Palace has said.
Buckingham Palace says the King “has today initiated a formal process”, and his brother will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
As well as the title, the Palace says “formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease” on Royal Lodge, and Andrew will move to the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk
“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,” the Palace said.
Andrew gave up his other royal titles earlier this month after more questions about his private life. In a posthumous memoir, Virginia Giuffre repeated allegations that, as a teenager, she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions. Andrew has always denied the claims.
Also this month, emails from 2011 re-emerged, showing Andrew in contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein months after he claimed their friendship ended.
