Ex-Prince Andrew’s Title Removed From Royal Website, But He Still Remains In Line For the Throne

The line of succession on the royal family’s official website has been updated to reflect that the former Prince Andrew will now go by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Last month, Buckingham Palace announced that the 65-year-old was set to be stripped of his royal titles and honors, and forced to surrender the lease to the Royal Lodge over his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

However, the ex-Duke of York, who has denied any wrongdoing, still remains eighth in line for the throne behind Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. His removal would require an act of Parliament, which, according to the BBC, the British government has no plans to pass.

Mountbatten-Windsor’s royal title has been disappearing from other sites, too.

Councilor Lauren Gray proposed changing the name of Northern Ireland street Prince Andrew Way, reported The Independent — a motion that was voted through just two days ago. “There is a strong belief that he no longer reflects the values of our community,” her colleague Aaron Skinner said, per the BBC.

Residents of Prince Andrew Road in Maidenhead, England want their street name changed too, reported the Maidenhead Advertiser. “There’s the ethical standpoint with the association,” explained local Tom Kirk. “This road name is now linked to controversy, given the severity of the allegations that continue to come through.”

Most recently, Mountbatten-Windsor was called to appear before Congress for a transcribed interview about Epstein, but the November 20 deadline to reply to their request came and went without any response, according to London’s The Times.
