King Charles has now issued a Letters Patent so that Andrew Mountbatten’s former prince title and HRH style can formally be removed following a statement last week
The King has delivered a final blow in formally removed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s prince title and his HRH style by issuing a Letters Patent.
Details of the Letters Patent have been published by the Crown Office in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, which shows that Andrew is no longer entitled to be a prince or hold the style ‘Royal Highness’.
Charles’s decision to banish Andrew from the monarchy and remove his birthright to be a prince, as well as his dukedom, followed growing controversy over his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew has tainted the reputation of the royal family with his association with Epstein and for many years was dogged by allegations he sexually abused Virginia Giuffre after she was trafficked by the financier. He has strenuously denied the allegations.
The entry read: “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’.”
