In a legal document bearing the royal seal, King Charles has officially deprived his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of the title of prince. After the king issued a Letters Patent, a centuries-old kind of document used by monarchs to grant and revoke positions or titles, the humiliated former royal also lost the title “his royal highness”.
The King has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince,” according to an announcement published on Wednesday in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record.
Due to his involvement with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the monarch said on October 31 that he was taking away his brother’s titles and evicting him from his royal residence. The palace had been under increasing pressure to remove the 65-year-old former prince from his Royal Lodge residence due to fresh information regarding his friendship with Epstein and the resurgence of sexual abuse claims made by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, whose posthumous memoir was released last month.
