The disgraced royal, whose friendship with the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led to his downfall, will not be formally styled as a prince and has given up his Duke of York title. He will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. He will also leave his 30-bed mansion Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, though he is expected to move into an undisclosed private residence on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, had accused Andrew of sexual assault. He has continued to deny the allegations. Reacting to the news, her family said she “never stopped fighting for accountability” and her courage “brought down a prince”. The unprecedented move to remove the titles of the late Queen Elizabeth’s third child is on the front of most of the UK newspapers this morning. Here’s what they’re saying. Advertisement The Sun makes a play on the phrase that came from the musician Prince changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol back in the 1990s. ‘The artist formerly known as Prince’ becomes ‘The Andrew formerly known as Prince’, with the paper stating that he has been ‘cast out in disgrace’. The Daily Star has a near identical headline on its front page, substituting Andrew’s name for Royal. It also notes that he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge. The word ‘Banished’ in large capitals accompanies a picture of Andrew on the front of the Daily Mail, though the main story being covered by the paper is a row over UK chancellor Rachel Reeves and whether she broke the law by renting a house without a licence. The Mail says King Charles’ decision to remove his brother’s titles is punishment for the scandal surrounding his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Daily Mirror Daily Mirror The Daily Mirror also references the removal of Andrew’s titles. ‘Meet Mr Windsor’ can be seen above a photo of Andrew looking downcast. ‘Finally’ is the paper’s verdict on the move to remove his prince title, which also notes that Prince William backed his father’s decision.

The headline notes that he is to be stripped of his titles and must move out of his home, referring to him simply as Andrew. The i paper dubs the removal of his titles a ‘historic move to save’ the British monarchy. It quotes some of the statement released by Buckingham Palace yesterday, which noted that these “censures were deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him”. The statement also said King Charles and Queen Camilla’s thoughts “remain with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse”. Daily Telegraph Daily Telegraph The front page of the Daily Telegraph features a photograph of the disgraced royal in the centre, wearing full military regalia and medals to accompany the headline ‘Andrew no longer Prince’. A downcast Andrew is also featured on the front of The Times, which doesn’t deviate from the other newspapers in its headline, noting that he has been stripped of his prince title and must leave his home in Windsor.
