King Charles will strip Prince Andrew of his royal titles and remove him from the Royal Lodge on the grounds of Windsor.

The announcement was made by Buckingham Palace.

The statement said formal notice was given to Andrew that he would need to surrender the lease of his mansion and move to private accommodation.

He will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and not as a prince.

As a child of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Andrew had held the title of prince since birth.

Andrew would relocate to the Sandringham Estate, privately funded by the King, according to reports by British media, including the BBC.

Andrew has been under renewed pressure in recent weeks over his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

He surrendered his use of the title Duke of York earlier in October.

The statement from Buckingham Palace said the censures were "deemed necessary, not withstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him".
