Ex-Prince Andrew Loses All Royal Privileges Amid Epstein Scandal
Ex-Prince Andrew has been stripped of all royal titles, privileges, and his residence following renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. New revelations about the disgraced brother of King Charles appear in both Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir and a new royal biography.
On October 30, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had “initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours” from Andrew. The statement confirmed he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and must vacate the Royal Lodge. The Palace emphasized its “utmost sympathies” for abuse victims, while noting Andrew continues to deny all allegations.
Giuffre’s memoir recounts encounters with Andrew, alleging he believed it was his “birthright” to have sex with her while she was underage.
A new biography, The Windsor Legacy by Robert Jobson, further claims Andrew hosted Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham in 2000, where palace staff reportedly found bathrooms stocked with condoms, lubricant, and “sex drugs.”
Buckingham Palace declined to comment, but royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News the allegations align with Andrew’s “long history of reckless sexual behavior and entitlement.”
