Prince Andrew Stripped of Titles, Princesses Beatrice Eugenie Retain Status Amid Royal Changes

Prince Andrew has been officially stripped of his royal titles and privileges, including his 'Prince' and 'Duke of York' designations, following damning revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles III has initiated formal proceedings to remove Andrew's styles, titles, and honors, and he has been ordered to vacate Royal Lodge, moving to alternative private accommodation funded by the King. Despite Andrew's loss of titles, his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, retain their royal titles due to King George V's Letters Patent of 1917, which grant such privileges to the offspring of a sovereign's son. Princess Beatrice has been seen using the outdated title "Princess Beatrice of York" at a recent event, although her official style since marriage is "Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi." The status of their children remains subject to royal protocols and potential future modifications by the monarch, who can issue new Letters Patent to adjust royal titles. Both princesses are not working royals and lead largely private lives, with Eugenie reportedly preferring her child to live an ordinary life without royal titles.
