Prince Andrew is losing his royal titles and his principal residence due to ongoing controversy over his associations with Jeffrey Epstein. In late October 2025, Buckingham Palace announced a formal move to strip him of the style and honours that come with being a prince, and to revoke the use of his titles, including the Duke of York. He is also to vacate the Royal Lodge, his Windsor home, and will be referred to as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor going forward. This represents a rare and unprecedented step for a senior royal, driven by continuing scrutiny and public concern over his past conduct and associations, and it follows prior measures in which he had already stepped back from public duties and stopped using certain titles.
