The disgraced royal, who agreed to give up his titles after ongoing pressure due to his links with Jeffrey Epstein, has lost his ‘prince’ title.
He ‘will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’, Buckingham Palace said this evening.
It said: ‘His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.’
The palace added that the former Duke of York will be evicted from the Royal Lodge, a Grade II-listed, 30-room Windsor mansion.

‘…His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,’ the palace said.
‘Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
‘Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.’
Andrew will pack his bags to a property on the private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, the BBC said.
A look at Royal Lodge in Windsor
The Royal Lodge is a Grade II-listed building in Windsor that houses 30 rooms, including seven bedrooms.
The lavish mansion is made up of a central section standing at three storeys tall, with two-storey wings.
The current building structure dates back to the 19th century and was later expanded in the 1930s by the then Duke of York, also the future King George VI.

The residence was previously occupied by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1952 until she died in 2002, aged 101.
Royal Lodge then became home to Prince Andrew and his family in 2004.
