Street cred Andrew's ways turn off residents

Streets named after Andrew, formerly known as Prince but now plain Mountbatten-Windsor, can be found from Broadstairs to Belfast to Birmingham. Roads, avenues, terraces, lanes, crescents, closes, drives and ways are all afflicted - to the dismay of some residents.

The defaced street name in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

In Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, Prince Andrew Way, will be purged after Mid and East Antrim council passed a motion, described by one councillor as "sad but necessary", to rename. A public consultation is under way.

In Maidenhead, Berkshire, there is a double whammy of Prince Andrew Road adjoining Prince Andrew Close, where some residents have complained of "smirks" and "raised eyebrows" whenever they give their address. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead this week made it easier for any name change, tailoring its regulations to require two-thirds of residents to agree, where previously all had to. It does not currently have a timeline for any changes, but is working through it internally.
