In a significant move, King Charles has removed his younger brother, Prince Andrew, from his royal title and evicted him from his residence at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace confirmed on Thursday. This decision stems from Andrew's controversial connections with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke of York, 65, has been under intense scrutiny due to his ties to Epstein, leading to relentless public and media pressure. Recent developments saw Andrew being stripped of his Duke of York title, with King Charles elevating the actions against him, redefining him as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Buckingham Palace's statement highlighted that Andrew is now required to vacate his Royal Lodge mansion, relocating to unspecified private accommodations in eastern England. The palace extended thoughts to the victims of abuse and confirmed that these measures, endorsed by the wider royal family, reflect King's unwavering attention to the gravity of the allegations, regardless of Andrew's denials.
