King lets Andrew keep his Falklands War medal
Prince Andrew retains his Falklands War campaign medal earned during active service despite losing all royal and military titles amid scandal, confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
- On Nov. 5, Buckingham Palace confirmed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will keep his Falklands War campaign medal and operational service medals despite losing royal titles.
- After Giuffre's accusations and related fallout, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor renounced his royal titles on Oct. 17 and was stripped of military affiliations by the late Queen.
- Medal records show Andrew served as a Sea King helicopter co-pilot with 820 Naval Air Squadron for nine weeks, earning the South Atlantic Medal and a rosette awarded to a tenth of the 33,000 recipients.
- On Nov. 2, U.K. Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will lose his honorary vice admiral rank and vacate Royal Lodge for a home on the Sandringham Estate, with artifacts returning to the Royal Collection Trust.
- Veterans including Simon Weston argued stripping the medal insults service, saying `We need to get hold of our moral compass`, while `Another senior defence source who served in the Falklands added` removing it would be an overreach.
