Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has no more royal honors to his name.
On Monday, December 1, The London Gazette — the United Kingdom’s official public record — published a notice from The Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood at St James’ Palace revealing that King Charles III had officially declared his younger brother, Andrew, 65, was to be stripped of his two knighthoods.
“THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, dated 23 April 2006, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order,” the notice read.
“THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, dated 19 February 2011, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order,” a second paragraph read.

The message also noted “to be dated 30 October 2025,” which was the same day Buckingham Palace issued an official statement with the announcement that the sovereign, 77, “initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.”
The erasure of Andrew’s legacy continues, as all the plaques with his name have been removed from the Falkland Islands, an overseas British territory that he helped defend as a helicopter co-pilot, according to a report by The Daily Mirrorlast month.
As Examiner previously reported, Andrew lost his titles as his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has stirred up a lot of controversy. (Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.)
