Andrew's Name Erased from Royal Line
26 Nov
Summary
- Prince Andrew's name officially changed to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
- His biography page was removed from the royal family's website.
- He remains eighth in the line of succession to the throne.
The royal family's official website has been updated to reflect that Prince Andrew is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a significant change after King Charles stripped him of his royal titles. His dedicated biography page has also been removed from the site, marking a clear shift in his public royal standing.
Despite the loss of titles and honors, Andrew remains eighth in the line of succession to the throne. Removing him from this position would necessitate an Act of Parliament and the consent of Commonwealth realms, highlighting the complex procedures involved in altering the succession order.
This update follows Andrew's withdrawal from public duties in 2019, subsequent to his controversial interview regarding Jeffrey Epstein. He also settled a lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre out of court earlier in 2022, after which Queen Elizabeth removed his military titles and patronages.
