JUST PLAIN ANDREW

Koning Charles strips broer Andrew of 'Prince' title and bans him from manor

- BY SARENE KLOREN

IN A historic decision, King Charles III has formally stripped his younger brother, Prince Andrew, of his all royal titles and honours.

Queen Elizabeth II's second son will no longer be able to use his title of "Prince" and will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

For the monarchy, and for the brother who refused to go, the move is long overdue.

Under mounting pressure from the public, media and within the palace, the King has said enough is enough: after years of denials, evasions and associations with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew's place in the family and in the public eye could no longer be tenable.
