Prince Andrew has faced long-running scrutiny over his ties to financier Jeffrey Epstein and related allegations.

He is now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The action reflects the Royal Family’s effort to distance itself from the Epstein scandal and its fallout, including inquiries and public debate about accountability for members of the monarchy.
