King Charles Strips Prince Andrew of Title Over Epstein Scandal, Evicts Him From Royal Lodge

King Charles stripped Prince Andrew of his royal title and evicted him from the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge on Wednesday, citing the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, as a royal biographer warned a full police investigation looms for the newly deminted Mr. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Buckingham Palace announced the 65-year-old former Duke of York immediately loses his prince designation and must vacate the Windsor Castle estate residence he shared with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson for over two decades at peppercorn rent.

The palace described the measures as "deemed necessary" amid Andrew's documented lies about severing ties with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Royal biographer Andrew Lownie told The Mirror the actions signal the monarchy sacrificing Andrew to protect itself.

"I don't think it's the end of it. I think there are many more disclosures to come, but at least they're taking some decisive action. So, I don't think it's all over for him," Lownie said.

Lownie warns a police probe now appears inevitable.

"Yes, I've been saying for some time they're [the Royal family] going to throw Andrew under the bus to save themselves and this is the first indication of that," he continued. "This should have been done years ago. I think it's been Virginia Giuffre's book that kind of made the Palace realise that there is a big problem here."

Andrew begins life as a commoner facing relocation to a private Sandringham Estate property in Norfolk.

Ferguson, also implicated in Epstein ties andmust make independent housing arrangements.

The decision follows explosive revelations in Giuffre's posthumous memoir "Nobody's Girl," released this month after her suicide at age 41.

Giuffre, trafficked to Andrew three times starting at age 17, described him viewing sex as his "birthright" and quoting him saying "thank you" in a "clipped British accent" post-encounter.

Maxwell allegedly praised her, tell Giuffre "You did well, the prince had fun."

Giuffre's family hailed the stripping as her victory.

"Virginia Roberts Giuffre, our sister, a child when she was sexually assaulted by Andrew, never stopped fighting for accountability for what had happened to her and to countless other survivors like her. Today, she declares victory. We, her family, along with her survivor sisters, continue Virginia's battle and will not rest until the same accountability applies to all of the abusers and abettors connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell," they said in a statement.

This isn't justice—it's a calculated exile that protects the crown's gilded facade as Epstein's ghosts demand real reckoning. The bus rolls on, but the bloodstains remain.
