Prince Andrew's Road residents ask for name change

Residents want the road renamed due to its link to former Prince Andrew, stripped of his title last week over Epstein ties, though it was named for a different royal.

  • Last week, residents in Hellesdon asked for Prince Andrew's Road to be renamed after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former prince, was stripped of his title.
  • Local archives indicate the road honors Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, named before the recent royal's birth and after his grandfather, Prince Philip, formerly the Duke of Edinburgh's father.
  • Renaming would require solicitors and substantial expense as residents of Prince Andrew's Road must update addresses, and Gurney said every single resident must agree, creating a high barrier.
  • Local reactions range from indifference, with Linda Pendergrass saying `Honestly, I don't care.`, to opposition, as 85-year-old Valerie Attfield resists changing her address.
  • Planning to move, Stacy Baldry, resident , said she's relocating near Sandringham, the King's private estate where the former prince will live, adding `Because of the connotation, we wouldn't want any association with the name.
