They can do a Legit Vote
to Officially Cancel the "Prince" of Andrew.
It is the only way.
Shut up the King
Worrying about Parliamentary time
This can all be done and dusted on one afternoon
in the UK Parliament
Bring This On.

He spoke Live on Politics Live BBC2HD 12:15PM
dont people realise that they are being played. All this prince andrew stuff is distraction. He won't be going to court, if there were any proof, it would already have been used. Whether he is called prince or not makes zero difference to anything other than distracting the public from the real problems in the country .... and it looks like Arista has fallen for it hook, line and sinker

its crazy how none of us on earth has ever called any of the pure royal family members by both there first and last name like we never say for examples william windsor harry windsor charles windsor
we would ofen say there royal title then there 1st name and no last name like for examples prince harry king charles prince charles prince william
its different for politicans because we often would say there country political title then the first and last name like for examples canadian prime minster mark carney ukrainian president vladimaire zeleinski irsael president benjamin yahoo

What do you actually think removing the title of Prince will change? He will still be the brother of the King, live on the Royal Estate and have all the same trappings but just be Andrew, former Prince etc. Nothing will change whatsoever and is a waste of Parliamentary time

Yes, when we have bigger problems. If there was any benefit at all to the Country to strip him of a title, then maybe, but as it will make not one jot of difference to anything, then why waste the time when the country is already on its knees :shrug:

The monarchy used to take and give out titles and property depending on how individuals behaved, so this is basically returning to it's roots. The King's justice

Will make him think twice about slagging off the family in the future
He has accused them of racism, not sure he can sink any lower
A precedent has been set, we were always told he was born a Prince so the title could not be removed
Wills has already signalled the intent to remove HRH from non working Royals

The old saying getting in with the wrong crowd is never more true than Andrews situation
He got mixed up with Epstein and couldn’t break away from him because Epstein could of blew his word apart because he knew what Andrew had done so staying close to Epstein and denying any criminal involvement was all he could do

People get away with murder because there not enough evidence to convict that doesn’t mean they are not guilty
You don’t give a woman 12 million who says she had sex with you and you said you never met her if you are innocent
A man spent 17 years in jail because he wouldn’t admit to something he hadn’t done and in the end was proven innocent
Im sure Andrew will do very nicely in retirement. On the subject of accountability, who else other than Epstein and Maxwell have faced any real consequences. The answer is a simple - no-one. Even Maxwell has now been moved to a minimum security prison with all the trappings of a normal life, and she was directly responsible for the pain and suffering of scores of young women. The world is messed up and it's not going to get any better

People get away with murder because there not enough evidence to convict that doesn’t mean they are not guilty
If there isn't enough evidence how do you know people get away with murder?

Inside humiliated Andrew's new life in exile: From butlers and Downton-style splendour to a pokey cottage with a latch key, friends tell RICHARD KAY how disgraced royal will now live... and reveal who is 'propping him up'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-15247323/Humiliated-Andrews-exile-RICHARD-KAY-disgraced-royal.html
21:21 EDT 31 Oct 2025, updated 21:21 EDT 31 Oct 2025
The homecoming will be unlike anything he has ever experienced. At one time staff at Royal Lodge, a house with a rich imperial heritage, would greet Prince Andrew in the saloon, Downton Abbey-style. There would be a valet to draw his bath and lay out his clothes, chefs to cook his supper and a butler to serve it. And through the large picture windows he could observe his team of gardeners at work on the 98 acres of parkland that surrounded this private paradise.
When he arrives at his new home – in weeks rather than months, I am told – on the King's Norfolk estate at Sandringham, most of those princely trappings, like his title itself, will have vanished.
He will be given a latch key, a rare possession for a member of the Royal Family for whom doors are always opened and closed. But he will not be entirely alone.
For despite the banishment of Andrew from Windsor, the loss of his beloved house and the removal of all his styles and honours, Charles is determined that his brother's punishment is not without humanity.
He does not expect Andrew to fend for himself. The fact is, at almost 66 and after an entire lifetime cosseted and pampered because of his royal birth, Andrew could not.
Nothing of his previous life will remain, except for his position as eighth in the line of succession to the throne. Removing it would be petty irrelevance.
So, there will still be some domestic help, but not on the wrap-around scale of Royal Lodge. Instead, his life will resemble that of his late father, Prince Philip, who himself moved to Sandringham in 2017 when he retired from public life.
There is, of course, one startling difference. It was Philip's decision to step down. Andrew's move is one of humiliation. It has been forced upon him. He may have acquiesced in the decision, but it was only because he didn't have any alternative.
It seems Andrew's life will resemble that of his late father, Prince Philip, who himself moved to Sandringham in 2017 when he retired from public life
Philip came to love the simpler life he discovered in Norfolk, from the solitude of the landscape to the absence of the formality and protocol he had come to loathe
Andrew will settle into his new life in weeks rather than months, Richard Kay is told. Pictured is Gardens House on the estate
His father came to love the simpler life he discovered in Norfolk, from the solitude of the landscape to the absence of the formality and protocol he had come to loathe. He found it liberating.
Philip was not entirely self-sufficient, but he would come and go as he pleased, eat what he wanted and when he wanted and see whomever he chose to at a time to suit him. He was also 95.
The question is can Andrew, who is 30 years younger than his father when he made the move, similarly adapt? And if he does, what on earth will he do?
In some ways Andrew may be better equipped to this new life than many would think. The pokey rooms of an estate cottage may have none of the grandeur of his Windsor mansion, but they would be a thread to his memories of earlier days when at sea with the Royal Navy and he was confined to ships' quarters.
For security reasons the property Andrew is destined to move to is for now being kept secret. But two have been ruled out – Wood Farm, where his father sank into joyful retirement, and York Cottage, excluded not just for its proximity to Sandringham House but also because of its name.
'How foolish it would be if his titles were torpedoed only for Andrew to be handed a house which carries the name of his former dukedom,' a courtier told me.
It might also be construed, some might think, as an act of cruelty. One royal figure told me that the move would happen 'as soon as possible and practicable'.
Other accommodation on the 20,000-acre estate includes Park House, birthplace of Princess Diana, but abandoned since 2020 when the charity which had run it as a hotel for the disabled closed its doors during the Covid pandemic.
There is also Gardens House, a six-bedroom Edwardian property once occupied by Sandringham's head gardener, but which is now available to the public as a holiday let.
The estate rents out a number of cottages in the villages around Sandringham, too, but they are mainly let to local people who work in the area. None would be suitable for a disgraced ex-prince.
In the end Sandringham was chosen by the King for his brother because it and Balmoral are the two privately-owned royal estates. This is why he refused to allow Andrew to remain at Windsor, even if he had agreed to move into a more modest home, which, of course, he did not.
Sandringham was chosen by the King for his brother because it and Balmoral are the two privately-owned royal estates, Richard Kay writes
Andrew could once observe his team of gardeners at work on the 98 acres of parkland that surrounded this private paradise at Royal Lodge. His life at Sandringham, pictured, will contain no such luxury
For all its grandiose history, Royal Lodge had become a virtual prison for Andrew. His only escape was riding out in the surrounding Windsor Great Park, where he was often photographed. Charles's profound wish is that far from becoming an object of curiosity, Andrew will be absorbed into the estate, where his riding and all his other day to day routines can be conducted in private. So, while I understand a property has been selected, it will not immediately be identified.
Some, but not all the staff who served him at Royal Lodge may be offered the opportunity to follow him to Norfolk. If they do go, how will they address him?
Stripped of his royal titles, the only courtesy he can surely expect to receive from those sent to work for him is being greeted as 'sir'. However, at Royal Lodge he had continued to be addressed as His Royal Highness, even though he was not permitted to use the honorific in public.
One thing is certain; he will no longer live in the style to which he has become so profoundly attached. It could be the rudest of awakenings.
For Andrew is entering unchartered royal waters. But is he to be deprived of every scrap of his royal birthright?
For example, Royal Lodge is largely furnished from the Royal Collection. How much of his familiar surroundings in furniture, pictures and other treasures will he be permitted to take to Norfolk?
More significantly, perhaps, will his ex-wife join him there? Officially Fergie, who has resumed using her maiden name, Sarah Ferguson, is said to be making her own private arrangements for her future accommodation.
So many of their subsequent troubles can be traced to the bond between the two.
Friends who know them well tell me that while once it was he who provided the moral support, it is now Sarah who is propping him up.
'The fact is he needs her,' says a regular visitor to Royal Lodge.
Their brutal downfall has left both at their lowest ebb. 'Sarah is going around blaming herself,' says one who knows her well. 'She keeps repeating, 'What if I hadn't done this, or hadn't done that.'
'Are we worried? Yes of course. But we are worried for Andrew too.' Both are well aware there is little public sympathy, however difficult their future turns out to be.
Should she not have found a home by the time of their departure from Royal Lodge, it is widely thought that Sarah would, temporarily at least, lodge with her ex-husband.
One thing is certain; he will no longer live in the style to which he has become so profoundly attached. It could be the rudest of awakenings, writes Richard Kay
There is certainly something piquant about the possibility of both Andrew and Sarah being sequestered in the sprawling Sandringham estate.
It was where Fergie was marooned in the years after her divorce and not allowed to join the Royal Family at Christmas time, instead being banished to a farmhouse where she was visited by her children and ex-husband. The estate was also where Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for what he famously described on Newsnight as a 'straightforward shooting weekend' in December 2000, when his friendship with the unsavoury financier was in its infancy.
Shooting may be one of the few pastimes left to him – though as I revealed last month the royals may charge him for the privilege.
And what about golf? At Windsor he has had access to the course he helped lay out there. At Sandringham there is only a mini-golf course open in the summer months for visitors.
Should he wish to play at the prestigious Royal West Norfolk, along the coast from Sandringham, there is no guarantee that the club, with its long links to the House of Windsor, would agree.
Adopting the life of the idle gentry may also do little to dispel the public outrage against the sense of unchecked privilege surrounding Andrew.
Memories of him bounding down that gangplank at Portsmouth with a rose clamped between his teeth, celebrated as a genuine returning hero from the Falklands war where he had flown at perilous risk as a decoy over the stricken destroyer HMS Sheffield, are long forgotten.
Golf and riding won't rebuild his shattered reputation, however.
Charles is determined that his brother's punishment is not without humanity
How much better it would be if he had the interests his father pursued. Philip spent his time on the estate painting, reading, writing letters, organising his papers and managing Sandringham's remarkable truffle harvest.
He also entertained. Andrew, never the most gregarious of company, does at least have a coterie of friends who have stuck by him.
But without the royal trappings he may no longer be the draw he once was.
One aspect of his life that might change is his ability to move around, even to travel. He has rarely been overseas since being 'sacked' by the late Queen from royal duties almost six years ago.
But as a mere citizen and no longer a prince he may feel entitled to come and go as he chooses. The question of whether he can afford to do so is another matter. The King is said to be meeting the cost of his new life but how much he will finance is not yet known.
Will there be cleaners and other domestic staff? Will he have to shop for himself? Who will put petrol in his car?
As for the move, there are doubts that it will be completed by Christmas. For one reason, Andrew's proximity to the rest of the Royal Family, who gather at Sandringham for the festive season, would almost certainly be viewed negatively.
Of all the late Queen's children, he was the happiest as a child at Sandringham. Yesterday, with royal doors slamming everywhere on the former prince, he may regard a future there, however bleak, as his only chance at redemption.

Virginia Guiffre was 17 when she supposedly slept with Andrew. Not 13 or 15. And she made an excellent living from it. She was supposedly paid £12 million for non-disclosure. Then she disclosed... Maybe Andrew could be eligible for a refund?
But my REAL question is, when will the heat go on to Mandleson? There are FAR more damning pIctures of him wandering around in a dressing gown with what he called Epstein's "interesting friends", far more damning emails. But he's the darling of the Labour Party...

And they whisked her back to the US claiming Diplomatic Immunity, even though she had none? Then they refused to hand her over for trial in the UK despite the victim's parents pleading? I'd treat this case the same as the Americans dealt with that.

This is Harry Dunn. He was 19 years old and riding his moped when he was killed by an American woman, Anne Sacoolas, driving on the wrong side of the road. The Americans whisked her out of the country immediately claiming Diplomatic Immunity, even though she had none. She refused to return to England to face charges and the Americans blocked every route the Brits tried.
I say the Americans are met with the same kind of cooperation they showed Harry Dunn's family.

If Trump is going to vet the files then we can assume that he will wipe any trace of himself and his friends/ associates
It will even make him more powerful as he will have sensitive information on many important people and will use it to his own advantage

I think people imagine he's able to erase stuff from Epstein files, I think enough people are against him for that not to happen. We're only assuming in his case, because he is deeply disliked in some quarters, it was more than two very rich men who were acquainted. If he was going to use that info to his advantage, he'd have done it already. I think it's not been released because when it is, the excrement is going to hit the cooling device at a scale we can't imagine.
this spans multiple departments with thousands of documents, many of which are already in the public domain or congress so it's impossible to change whats out there. I think Trump will continue to say he did nothing wrong, it's always worked for him in the past, there is no reason why it won't work exactly the same into the future
