King Charles has stripped his brother Andrew of his final royal honors, formally removing him from the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order, according to a notice published on December 1 in The Gazette. The move follows Andrew’s loss of his “prince” title and eviction from the Royal Lodge in October over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Buckingham Palace said the censures are “necessary,” despite Andrew’s continued denial of the allegations against him. He is expected to relocate to private accommodations on the Sandringham estate, while Sarah Ferguson will also lose her Duchess of York title.
