King Charles Visits Andrew’s New Home After Stripping His Royal Titles

by

King Charles III is taking a look at his younger brother’s new residence.

Following the announcement that Prince Andrew would lose his royal titles and move out of his home at Windsor Castle, King Charles visited his brother’s new residence just one day later.

I was so pleased to hear that the King, at 76, enjoyed a drive around his Sandringham estate. It’s wonderful to know Prince Andrew, who’s 65, will be living there soon too – a lovely setup for everyone, I think!

Earlier in October, Andrew had already said he would stop using his royal titles because of ongoing questions about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and accusations of sexual abuse – accusations he consistently denies. However, the Palace’s announcement on October 30th went even further.

Beyond being asked to leave his royal home, Charles announced that Andrew will no longer be known as Prince Andrew, and will instead go by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His daughters, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, along with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, will continue to use their royal titles.

Today, the King officially began the process of stripping Prince Andrew of his royal titles and honors. This action is being taken despite the Prince continuing to maintain his innocence regarding the accusations against him.

Even though Andrew and Sarah lived together at the Royal Lodge, they won’t be living together at Sandringham. Sarah, who stopped using her Duchess of York title when Andrew announced this, will be making her own living arrangements.

Although the official announcement came on October 30th, Andrew had already stated he would stop using his royal titles – including Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, and Baron Killyleagh – and his style of “His Royal Highness” two weeks earlier. He also relinquished his honors, such as the Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order.

Look, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I absolutely deny these accusations. I truly believe I’ve done nothing wrong, and that’s where I stand on this whole thing. It’s important to me to be clear about that.

Following Prince Andrew’s decision to step down from using his Duke of York title, King Charles III announced that his brother would also lose his home at Royal Lodge and no longer be known as a Prince.

Buckingham Palace announced today that King Charles has begun the process of stripping Prince Andrew of his royal titles and honors. He will now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, has announced he will no longer use the title Duke of York. This decision comes because of ongoing public concern about his connection to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

After talking with The King and my family, I’ve decided the ongoing accusations against me are taking attention away from the important work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” Andrew said in a statement. “As I’ve always done, I’m prioritizing my family and country. Therefore, I stand by my decision to step back from public duties, which I made five years ago.”

Andrew stated that, with the King’s approval, he was taking things a step further. He would be giving up his royal title and any honors he had received. He also reaffirmed that he strongly denied the claims made against him.

 

In October 2025, the King and his oldest son attended the Countdown to COP30 event held at the Natural History Museum in London.

The couple took photos outside the museum before going inside to discuss climate change solutions with government officials and activists. This event took place ahead of the COP30 World Leaders Summit in Belém, Brazil, in November, which Prince William will attend as a representative for his father.

In September 2025, Sarah, Duchess of York, stepped down as a patron of Julia’s House after an old email from 2011 surfaced. The email revealed she referred to Jeffrey Epstein as a friend.

After reports surfaced this weekend about the Duchess of York’s communication with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia’s House has decided it’s no longer appropriate for her to continue her role as a patron of the charity. According to The Guardian, the charity has informed the Duchess of this decision and expressed gratitude for her previous contributions.

A representative for Ferguson stated the email was sent following a threat made by Epstein.

After a 19-month absence, Prince Harry was spotted arriving at Clarence House—the King’s home in London—likely to visit his father before attending another event in the city.

Harry arrived at the house around 5:20 p.m. on September 10th, but Charles had come back just a few hours earlier.

Princess Anne’s son and his former husband, Mark Phillips, announced their engagement to Harriet Sperling on August 1st, after dating for over a year.

The couple’s representative told Hello! magazine that both families were told about the engagement at the same time and were very happy about it.

Just a day before turning 78, the royal was made an honorary Vice Admiral by the Royal Navy.

Camilla is the first woman to receive this honorary title. It’s awarded only by the monarch – in this case, her husband, King Charles III – based on a recommendation from the First Sea Lord, currently Sir Gwyn Jenkins.

Just hours before she was scheduled to attend, Princess Catherine cancelled her appearance at Royal Ascot, the annual horse race. Kensington Palace confirmed the news to NBC News.

The palace said Kate was sad to miss the event, but she’s still working out how to manage her public appearances as she recovers from cancer.

Prince Harry’s lawsuit seeking extra security ended on May 2nd when a court dismissed it. This came more than a year after a previous request for increased protection was denied by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stopped being full-time working royals in 2021 and moved to the US, their security details were reduced. However, Harry continued to request security arrangements whenever he returned to the UK.

Prince Harry told the BBC on May 2nd that he was deeply upset by the outcome of his recent legal fight. He stated that, as things stand, he doesn’t foresee returning to the UK with his wife and children.

In an interview with the BBC on May 2nd, Prince Harry said his father, King Charles III, isn’t currently speaking to him due to disagreements about security. He expressed hope that they could repair their relationship.

As someone who’s observed family dynamics for years, I can definitely relate to wanting to bridge gaps. Prince Harry has expressed a real desire to reconnect with his father and brother, which is lovely to hear. Ultimately, though, it seems he’s letting his dad take the lead – he’s hoping for a gesture from their side to start things moving again. It’s a delicate situation, and putting the ball in someone else’s court can be a tough, but sometimes necessary, step.

He stated he doesn’t foresee returning to the U.K. with his family anytime soon. He expressed sadness that his children won’t have the chance to experience his home country with him.

Harry explained that his father has significant influence and could potentially solve the situation. He suggested this wouldn’t require direct involvement, but rather allowing professionals to handle things without interference.

After years of fighting, he’s now seeking peace and a chance to make amends. He explained, “Life is too short, and my father doesn’t have much time left.”

More than a year after revealing his cancer diagnosis, King Charles wrote on April 29th that going through treatment has highlighted the kindness and strength of people around him.

In a booklet offering support to cancer patients and their families, Charles wrote that receiving a diagnosis is understandably scary. However, drawing from his own experience, he also believes it can reveal incredible kindness and strength in people.

He expressed his gratitude to the healthcare workers who cared for him, and shared that the experience deepened his respect for the incredible work done by the organizations and people present, many of whom he’s known and supported for years.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were absent from the royal family’s traditional Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on April 20th.

On April 15th, Jason Knauf was named the new CEO of The Earthshot Prize, Prince William’s environmental organization. In a statement on the organization’s website, Knauf expressed his excitement about collaborating with the team and community to promote hopeful solutions for the planet.

He was promoted almost seven years after he raised concerns about Meghan Markle’s behavior, claiming she bullied two assistants and tried to discredit another staff member. Representatives for the Sussexes denied these claims, telling The Times that the story was a deliberately damaging attempt to spread false information.

Buckingham Palace looked into the claims, but the investigation concluded in 2022 without any public announcement of the results.
