- On Friday, October 17, Prince Andrew, 65, agreed to give up his titles and honours, including the Duke of York, after talks with King Charles and Buckingham Palace.

- Seen as the end of his royal career, the move caps Prince Andrew's fall from grace after the Epstein scandal, while his Royal Lodge tenancy and private security costing £3 million per year remain.
