  1. Bingo. No stripping of anything.

    Only parliament can remove a peerage. He’s agreeing not to use his dukedom.

    He’s still a royal prince, Charles hasn’t removed that. Again, he’s just agreeing not to use it.

    If he had a son that son would be inheriting the title when Andrew passes. As it is it’ll revert to the Crown just like it was always going to. They’ll just get a jump on fumigating the title is all.

  2. Well the king has done what he could, there is nothing else he can do, only parliament has the power to truly strip completely, so really people should be pushing government not the royal family 

  3. I dont understand the mechanism of the crown bestowing these titles on marriage etc, but yet it takes an act of parliament to take them away. I would also be interested in knowing the legal mechanism that allowed Charles to give Edward the DoE title, but worked it so that it wont be passed down to his son.

  4. And he’ll still attend Xmas with the family but via the back door

    These royals are spineless cowards

  5. Exactly. He had already agreed not to use titles. Only real change is that he has now agreed not to use order of the garter title.

  6. It would take an act of Parliament to actually strip the titles, and I’m guessing if it was brought up, they’d do it.

  7. I thought he straight gave the title up. It’s the only way for him to actually lose the title without Parliament getting involved. He’s still HRH and Prince because he was born to it
