The 65-year-old former Duke is reeling after being formally stripped of his royal titles by his older brother King Charles, 77 - who has told him he must vacate Royal Lodge, the 30-room, $40 million mansion on the Windsor estate he has lived in for decades.
Charles' decision, confirmed by Buckingham Palace, marked the monarch's most decisive step yet in severing Windsor's remaining royal ties and relegating him to private life as "commoner" under the name Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Under the new arrangement, he is expected to move into reduced accommodation on the King's Sandringham estate.
Charles formally made the changes by issuing a letters patent under the great seal of the realm, which the crown office published in the Gazette, Britain's official public record.
The entry said: "The king has been pleased by letters patent under the great seal of the realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of 'royal highness' and the titular dignity of 'prince.'"
