Prince William May Move to Strip Andrew's Titles

Prince Andrew faces ongoing scrutiny within the royal family due to scandals and revelations from Andrew Lownie's new book, with talks increasing about removing his titles and further excluding him from royal life. King Charles III has limited Andrew's public role and financial support but has not fully severed ties, citing family and legal complexities. Royal insiders now suggest that Prince William, when he ascends to the throne, is expected to act more decisively by seeking to strip Andrew of his titles, including the 'Prince' designation, through parliamentary legislation, and by barring him from royal events. This anticipated move is driven by William's desire to protect the monarchy's reputation in a rapidly evolving public landscape. Polls show Andrew remains highly unpopular, and palace sources agree the current situation is untenable. While such measures would require legislative and royal approval, William is reportedly prepared to act if necessary to address the ongoing controversy.
