'Victory for Virginia,' says family of Prince Andrew's accuser as royal gives up all his titles

King Charles ordered removal of Prince Andrew’s royal titles over serious lapses linked to Epstein allegations; Andrew will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, palace said.

  • 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.
  • Renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and a reported $12,000,000 settlement prompted the move just ahead of Virginia Giuffre's Oct. 21 memoir.
  • He will give up specific honours including his GCVO knighthood and Garter role, stop using the Duke of York and subsidiary titles, but retain the dukedom and princely status.
  • Sarah Ferguson will relinquish her Duchess of York title, charities including Julia's House and Teenage Cancer Trust have cut ties, and Andrew will not join the Sandringham Christmas, losing £250,000 and royal allowances.
  • 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.
