@Coastalcarolina 

If the queen has children, aren't they automatically a prince or princess?   I don't think it's a designation that can be given or taken away.  

No secret here that I'm no fan of the royals.  Most of them are useless aristocrats with too much time (and resources) on their hands.  

I don't know what Andrew did before his mother paid off that VG lawsuit for him and removed his titles, but I DO blame his mother for not reining him in more earlier in life.   I guess perhaps she was too busy doing her "duty" to be bothered with her children?

I just saw it on YouTube channel.  It seems that there are a lot of rules about the titles and such.  I certainly am not an authority on the subject by any stretch 😊.  It stated that both Princess Eugenie and Beatrice will keep their titles.

He is going to have to leave his Royal Lodge at some point.  But it said he would move to Sandringham Estate.  Still luxurious though.😏

The statement from Buckingham Palace in full:

His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

He can always be addressed as, "Andrew , third child of deceased Queen Elizabeth"

is being stripped of his Title Prince over the Epstein issue if anyone is interested. About time IMO. CNN is where I saw this. Interesting times.

I hope this spreads to all of the guilty parties.

@tansy Of course.

@Coastalcarolina  many of those estates look good, and grounds are luscious!  But bathrooms, plumbing and comfort as far as heating and cooling are ancient. Plumbing is Jimmy-rigged half the time. It is expensive upkeep on those places.  Not like here.  Shower spigots are 1/2 " wide sometimes.  lol I imagine some have been modernized, but I heard many of the old palaces, estates and grounds are very remedial

According to the People article that I read, the King is using his Royal Prerogative, which allows him to manage certain royal titles and honors without involving Parliament.

The royal holdings and personal assets are in the billions, thanks to the taxpayers and greedy royals.

With all that money, why can't they upgrade plumbing ... even a little at a time?

@Tinkrbl44  Agree 100%.  He was born to a queen.  I would think that makes him a prince regardless of what he's done.  And Liz may have been regarded highly by her subjects but except for perhaps Anne she seems to be a failure as a mother.

Also agree that "royalty" is obsolete.

The queen deserves credit for how she led by example during WWII but otherwise not so much. I doubt she had a model childhood.
