Prince Andrew’s status as of now is that he has decided to relinquish his use of several royal titles and honours, but remains a member of the royal family and will still be a prince. He has stated he will no longer use the title Duke of York, will step back from public duties, and will surrender associated honours such as certain royal appointments. He will continue to reside on the Windsor Estate (at Royal Lodge) with his ex-wife, and the dukedom itself cannot be removed without an Act of Parliament, so the title technically exists, but he will not be using it. The move appears intended to distance the monarchy from the ongoing controversies surrounding his associations, and it follows considerable public and political pressure. Public and media reaction has been mixed, with ongoing debate about how the royal family should handle residual connections to him and the implications for the institution. If you’d like, I can summarize the latest developments from reputable outlets or provide a timeline of key events related to this situation.
